How to Retrieve WiFi Password from Windows 10

Forgetting the WiFi password can be a common occurrence, especially with multiple devices and networks. However, on Windows 10, there is a way to retrieve the WiFi password you've previously connected to. Here's how:

1. Right-click on the Start menu and select 'Windows PowerShell (Admin)'.
2. In the PowerShell window, type the command: netsh wlan show profile name=Wi-Fi-name key=clear, replacing 'Wi-Fi-name' with the name of the network you want the password for.
3. Look for the 'Key Content' field under 'Security settings' to find the WiFi password in plain text.

It's important to note that this method will only work for networks you've previously connected to on the Windows 10 device. Make sure to store the password securely to avoid any security risks.

By following these steps, you can easily retrieve the WiFi password from Windows 10 whenever needed. Remember to always prioritize the security and privacy of your network connections.
