How to Find a WiFi Password on Mac: A Handy Guide
Looking up a WiFi Password on Mac
Forgetting a WiFi password can be frustrating, especially when you need to connect another device. If you've connected your Mac to a WiFi network in the past and can't remember the password, don't worry - there's a way to retrieve it:
- Open the 'Keychain Access' application on your Mac. You can find it by searching for it in Spotlight or navigating to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.
- In the search bar at the top right corner, type the name of the WiFi network you want the password for.
- Double click on the WiFi network name in the list of search results.
- Check the box next to 'Show password' and enter your Mac's administrator username and password when prompted.
- You'll then be able to view the password for the selected WiFi network.
It's important to note that you can only retrieve passwords for networks your Mac has connected to in the past. If you're unable to locate a specific WiFi network password, you may need to contact the network administrator or reset the router.
