I am connected via wlan to the internet. I was wondering where my password is saved on the raspberry pi. Once I saw it in plain text somewhere. I thought it was under

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

But this file is empty. I tried

/etc/network/interfaces

as well. This file is not empty, but there is no information about my password. Then I tried

grep -r -i "MY_WLAN_NAME" ./

and

grep -r -i "wlan0" ./

without any proper results. Do you have any idea where my password could be located at, or at least how to find it?

Further information: I am using a raspberry pi 3 model b; operating system: raspbian.
