Forgetting your Wi-Fi password can be frustrating, especially when you need to connect a new device to your network. If you're using a Mac and can't remember your Wi-Fi password, there are a few ways to retrieve it:
- Use Keychain Access: Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access. In the search bar, type the name of your Wi-Fi network. Double click on it and check the 'Show password' box. You may need to enter your Mac's password to view the Wi-Fi password.
- Use Terminal: Open the Terminal app and type the following command:
security find-generic-password -ga "Your Wi-Fi Network Name" | grep password. Replace 'Your Wi-Fi Network Name' with your actual network name. You'll be prompted to enter your Mac's login password to reveal the Wi-Fi password.
These methods should help you find your Wi-Fi password on your Mac. Remember to keep your passwords secure and consider using a password manager to store them safely.
