In this issue, the editor will bring you how to look at the Windows 10 Wi-Fi password. The article is rich in content and analyzes and narrates it from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

What do you think of the Win10 WiFi password? Many friends will have this question. When Win10 connects to a WiFi, the SSID, password and other information of the WiFi hotspot will be saved in the system, and then re-enter the WiFi range to automatically connect.

However, the WiFi that has been saved in the system cannot view the password directly, which causes some problems in use.

For example, after the WiFi connection in the office, you want to share the password with your new colleague, but you can't remember the password. What if Win10 can't read the password by default? In fact, there is still a way to check the WiFi password saved by Win10 in the system! Here are some ways to share with you.

CMD View Win10 WiFi password

Let's first introduce a method that comes with the Win10 system to check the WiFi password. First, find "CMD" in Cortana and right-click to run with system administrator privileges.

Then enter the following code:

Netsh wlan show profile name= "hot name" key=clear

"Hotspot name" is the name of the WiFi hotspot for which you want to view the password. For example, if the author wants to view the password of the hotspot "staff", enter:

Netsh wlan show profile name= "staff" key=clear

Then press enter, and in the "Security Settings" column, what "key content" shows is the password corresponding to the WiFi hotspot.

System settings to view Win10 WiFi password

It is always troublesome to use the command line to check the WiFi password in CMD. After all, not everyone remembers exactly how to type the command line. In fact, in the Win10 system settings, you can also view the WiFi password, let's take a look.

First, open the system settings for Win10, and in "Network and Internet", under "status", find the "change Adapter options" column.

↑↑↑ then right-click the current network connection and select status.

↑↑↑ in the pop-up "WLAN status", click "Wireless Properties".

*, switch to the "Security" tab and check "Show characters" to view the password of the currently connected WiFi.

Although this method is a little tedious, it is easier to remember than the command line. The limitation of this method is that you can only check the password of the WiFi you are currently connected to, not the other WiFi passwords that have been connected, but it is generally practical.

Use software to check Win10 WiFi password

Whether you use CMD or through the system settings to view the Win10 WiFi password, it actually requires multiple steps, is there any easier way? Of course, you can check it directly with third-party software, which is the most convenient!

Many third-party software can check the WiFi password of Win10. Here is a "Win10 WiFi password query tool" from individual developers as an example.

After opening the software, you can directly see the information of the WiFi hotspots saved by the system. As long as you select one of them, you can view the SSID and password, and also support copying the password, which is very convenient.

It is true that Win10 has made a lot of progress over Win7, but it is undoubtedly inconvenient to be unable to directly view the connected WiFi password.

However, this may be a big trend. Android and iOS hide WiFi passwords more strictly than Win10, requiring root or jailbreak to extract WiFi passwords.

This is how the Windows 10 Wi-Fi password shared by Xiaobian looks. If you happen to have similar doubts, you might as well refer to the above analysis to understand. If you want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
