WiFi passwords are essential for keeping your network secure, but they can also be a source of frustration when you forget them. Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to show your WiFi password without having to reset it.
Using the Command Prompt
The first way to show your WiFi password is by using the command prompt. To do this, open the command prompt window by typing “cmd” in the search bar. Once it’s open, type “netsh wlan show profile” followed by the name of your WiFi network. This will bring up a list of information about your network, including the security settings and password.
Using Network Connections
The second way to show your WiFi password is by using the Network Connections window. To do this, open Control Panel and select “Network and Internet” followed by “Network Connections”. Here you will see a list of all the networks you have connected to in the past. Right-click on the network you want to view and select “Status” from the menu. This will bring up a window with information about your network, including its security settings and password.
Using Third-Party Software
The third way to show your WiFi password is by using third-party software such as WirelessKeyView or WiFi Password Revealer. These programs allow you to view all of your saved wireless passwords in one convenient location. Simply download and install one of these programs onto your computer and it will automatically detect all of your wireless networks and display their passwords.
Knowing how to show your WiFi password can save you time and frustration when you forget it or need to share it with someone else. Whether you use the command prompt, Network Connections window or third-party software, these methods make it easy to view your saved passwords without having to reset them.
