Legal Disclaimer & Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Critical Legal Warning
Unauthorized access to computer networks is a serious federal and international crime. In the United States, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030) carry penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment for a first offense and up to 20 years for repeat offenses, plus civil liability. Equivalent laws exist in all major jurisdictions worldwide.
This service is strictly for network owners recovering access to their own networks, or persons with explicit written authorization from the network owner. Any other use is illegal and will not be facilitated by this service.
1. Authorized Use Only
This website and its associated recovery service is intended exclusively for:
- • Network owners who have forgotten their own WiFi password
- • IT professionals and network administrators recovering access to networks they are legally authorized to manage
- • Persons who have obtained explicit, documented written authorization from the network owner
- • Security researchers operating in authorized test environments they own or control
By using this service you represent and warrant that you fall into one of the above categories. If you do not, you must not use this service.
2. Applicable Laws
The following non-exhaustive list of laws prohibit unauthorized access to computer networks and wireless communications:
- •United States: Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030), Electronic Communications Privacy Act (18 U.S.C. § 2511)

3. File Analysis — How It Works
The capture file analyzer on this website operates entirely in your browser. When you drop a file into the upload area, the file is read locally by JavaScript code — it is not uploaded to any server during analysis. The analysis reads only the file header (first 128KB) to identify the format and detect the presence of WPA handshake markers (EAPOL frames).
No file content is transmitted until you explicitly click "Submit for Recovery" and confirm the upload.
4. Privacy Policy
Data we collect: This website does not collect personally identifiable information. We use standard server access logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security and analytics purposes. These logs are retained for 30 days.
Cookies: This website does not use tracking cookies. No third-party analytics scripts are loaded.
File analysis: As described above, file analysis is client-side only. No file content is transmitted to our servers during the analysis phase.
Recovery processing: When you submit a capture file for recovery, it is transmitted securely to our GPU recovery infrastructure. We are not responsible for third-party data practices of any linked services.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
This website and its tools are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that the file analysis will be accurate for all file variants, that recovery will succeed for any given capture file, or that the service will be available without interruption.
The success rate of 60-70% cited on this website is an estimate based on typical human-chosen passwords and is not a guarantee. Passwords based on random character strings, long passphrases, or dictionary-resistant patterns are unlikely to be recovered.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, wifipassword.org and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of this website or the recovery service, including but not limited to: legal consequences resulting from unauthorized use of the service, loss of data, loss of profits, or inability to recover a password.
You assume full legal and financial responsibility for your use of this service and any resulting actions.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy at any time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
