How to Retrieve WiFi Password on Windows 10

Forgetting your WiFi password can be frustrating, especially when you need it to connect a new device or share it with a guest. If you are using a Windows 10 computer that is already connected to the WiFi network, you can easily retrieve the WiFi password following these steps:

  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='YOUR_WIFI_SSID' key=clear (replace 'YOUR_WIFI_SSID' with your actual WiFi network name).
  3. Look for the 'Key Content' line under the 'Security settings' section. The password next to it is your WiFi password.

By following these simple steps, you can quickly retrieve your WiFi password without the need for any third-party software. Make sure to store your password securely to maintain your network's security.
