For reference, you can delete all/any of your Amazon-saved wifi passswords by visiting: https://www.amazon.com/mn/dcw/myx.html#/home/settings/payment - Click the little down button along the very right and next to "Saved Wi-Fi Passwords" to expose the "Delete" button.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I was simply annoyed that the app had very clear "checkboxes" that could not be checked. (at least with my finger on my phone).  I also find it interesting that Amazon provides a method to delete all saved WiFi passwords, but not to display which WiFi SSID's passwords are stored for.  "All or  nothing."  I can see reluctance to display the actual passwords, but not even show which networks?
