How to View Connected WiFi Password?
Have you ever been in a situation where you are connected to a WiFi network on your device but have forgotten the password and need to reconnect another device? Finding the password of a connected WiFi network can be a useful skill to have in such scenarios.
Here are a few ways to view connected WiFi passwords:
- On Windows: You can view saved WiFi passwords by navigating to the Network and Sharing Center, then clicking on the connected WiFi network and selecting 'Wireless Properties'. From there, you can check the box to 'Show characters' to reveal the password.
- On Mac: Use the Keychain Access utility to view WiFi passwords. Search for the WiFi network name in Keychain Access, double click on it, select 'Show password' and enter your admin username and password to view the saved password.
- On Android: If your device is rooted, you can use apps like 'WiFi Key Recovery' to view saved WiFi passwords. Non-rooted devices may require additional steps or apps that do not always work.
- On iOS: Unfortunately, iOS devices do not allow users to view saved WiFi passwords due to security restrictions. However, you can choose to forget the network and reconnect, entering the password like a new connection.
Keep in mind that accessing WiFi passwords may have legal implications, and it is essential to only view passwords for networks you own or have permission to access. It's always a good idea to keep track of your WiFi passwords in a secure password manager to avoid such situations.
