How to view the saved WiFi password on Windows 10? I believe many inexperienced people don't know what to do about it. Therefore, this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

Have you forgotten your home or office Wi-Fi password? You may forget it because it is saved on your device and you are not using it for the time being. This often happens. One solution is to open the configuration page of the router and view the WiFi password. However, it is possible that you may not be able to access the settings of the router. Another way is to extract the password from the Windows computer itself.

View the Wi-Fi password in Windows 10

We introduce a good method of extracting saved Wi-Fi passwords from Win10 computers. It covers two methods and can be used on a case-by-case basis. Keep in mind that both methods expose only the keys saved on the computer. You must connect to the Wi-Fi network once to display its password.

If you are currently connected to the Wi-Fi network where you want to recover your password, follow the GUI method. If you are not currently connected, but your network credentials are saved on your device, you can follow the CMD method.

1. GUI mode

This is the easiest way to view the saved password of the currently connected Wi-Fi network.

-- Open Settings, then go to Network and Internet, and now click Open Network and sharing Center.

Now, under the active network, locate your Wi-Fi network and click it to open a new dialog box.

In this dialog box, click Wireless Properties to open another dialog box.

-- go to the Security tab and click the display character check box under the password field to display the password.

Here, you can use this password, which is the password that the computer uses to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Now that you have remembered it, you can share it with anyone you want.

2. CMD mode

1. You can use this method if you are previously connected to the Wi-Fi network but are not currently connected. This approach involves punching holes in some simple CMD commands to display passwords.

-- Open the CMD window and enter the following command

Netsh wlan show profile

two。 Use the following command to view the password. Replace "PROFILE_NAME" with the name you noted in the previous step (without quotation marks).

Netsh wlan show profile "PROFILE_NAME" key=clear

This command displays a large number of details about the Wi-Fi network. You can read these details and configurations, or jump directly to the security settings and look for a field called key content. This will provide you with the information you are looking for. Remember that if you use CMD to view its password, you do not need to connect to that Wi-Fi network.

So, this is to view the saved password on the Win10 computer. I'm sure there are some third-party tools that will allow you to do this. But since this is a very basic skill, you can follow this guide to do it yourself. This technique generally requires the least expertise, and the CMD command is simple.
