  N.B. Google Backup ('Backup by Google One') specifically says that
Wi-Fi passwords are backed up.

  On my (Samsung Galaxy A51) Android 13 phone:

  Settings -> Google / Google services -> All services -> Backup &
restore -> Backup -> Manage storage -> opens one.google.com webpage ->
YOUR DEVICE BACKUP (2) -> Galaxy A51 -> See details ->

"Device settings		208 KB
 Wallpaper, Wi-Fi password..."

  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:

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

  So Wi-Fi passwords are backed up by Google Backup. Whether they are
also transferred from an old to a new device is still unanswered (by
official references).
