    N.B. The part after "password" can not be shown, only gives the three
dots, but if I go to the one.google.com webpage on my laptop, it says:

Does not open.

 
   Exactly. My point was only that the Wi-Fi settings *are* backed up,
not that they are seperately accessible/restorable with other tools.

 
Not "exactly". Mine does not say what it stores. It doesn't say it
stores wifi passwords. It just says "device settings".

  But you said "Does not open.", so did or did you not get the

"Device settings
   Wallpaper, Wi-Fi passwords and more"

message?

  Note that this message is on the one.google.com *webpage*, not in the
Settings (sub-)menu itself. I.e. it comes from a the website, not from
your phone itself. So you *see* the message on your *phone*, but it
*comes from* the one.google.com *webserver*.

  To be sure, just go to the one.google.com webpage on your computer and
follow the instructions, which I gave earlier:

  -> Backup -> View -> "YOUR DEVICE BACKUP ..." -> select your device ->
See details ->

"<your device name>

 Last backup: ...
 ...
 Backup details
 ...
 Device settings NNN KB
 Wallpaper, Wi-Fi passwords and more
 ..."

   If you do not get this message (with "Wi-Fi passwords", then please
post what the "Backup details" page on your computer *does* say.
