That's impossible on a non-3G Kindle, because it would require connecting to Amazon to acquire a wifi password over a wifi link it doesn't have the password for. What actually happens is that all Amazon-saved wifi passwords for your account are preemptively synced to every device registered to your account as they connect (over wifi connections they *do* have the passwords for).
