Inspiration
Many people now days forget their wifi passwords, and if guests come home and ask for internet, you would be clueless because you forgot your own wifi password. thats why i made this program which can get the wifi password and name from your device and display it in front of you, it also generates a qr code in case you want to scan it and get the passwords on your phone or the device you are scanning with.
What it does
it gets the wifi names and passwords from your laptop (from the time you were connected to a wifi connection) and then displays it in the terminal/console. it then generates a qr code which can be found in the same directory as the file is located in. then you can scan that as well for the wifi passwords on your phone or the device you are scanning with. it uses the sub process module in python and works only on WINDOWS
How we built it
i built it using python (subprocess module). there is already a command in command prompt that can show all of your wifi names and passwords but not many people know about it. thats why if they run this program, it opens up the command prompt and types in the command. then it extracts and prints the info in the command prompt or terminal. it also makes a qr code from which you can scan it on your other device and get the passwords
Challenges we ran into
about how do i check the command prompt with just a program, later found out subprocess module is really good.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
that now i can help people knowing their wifi passwords incase they forget it :D
What we learned
i learnt about the sub process module in python and more about qr codes
