How to Find Your WiFi Name and Password

Forgetting your WiFi name and password can be frustrating, but fear not, as there are ways to retrieve this information easily.

To find your WiFi name, also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier), you can look at the sticker on your router. The SSID is usually printed on a label along with the login details.

If the SSID is not on the router or you can't access it, you can check your device settings. On a Windows PC, go to Network and Sharing Center, select your WiFi connection, and click on Wireless Properties to view the SSID. On a Mac, check System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced.

Now, let's talk about recovering your WiFi password. If you never changed the default password, it might be on the same sticker on your router where the SSID is. If not, you can usually access the router settings by typing the router's IP address into your browser. Once logged in, look for the WiFi or wireless settings to find the password.

Another method is to check your device if it's already connected to the WiFi network. On Windows, go to Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks. On a Mac, the WiFi password can be found in Keychain Access.

By following these simple steps, you can easily find your WiFi name and password without much hassle.
