How to Use Crosh to Find WiFi Password

If you have ever forgotten your WiFi password or need to retrieve it for any reason, you may wonder if there is a way to find it using Crosh. Crosh, which stands for Chrome Shell, is a command shell environment available in Chrome OS. Here is how you can use Crosh to find your WiFi password:

1. Open a new tab in your Chrome browser.
2. Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the Crosh terminal.
3. Type wifi and press Enter to see a list of available WiFi networks.
4. Find the name of your WiFi network and note down its Profile Name.
5. Type wifi ProfileName and press Enter to see the details of your WiFi network, including the password.
6. You can now view your WiFi password under the PSK or Pre-Shared Key field.

It's important to note that this method only works if you are using a Chromebook or a device running Chrome OS. Additionally, accessing WiFi passwords without proper authorization is against ethical practices and may be illegal in some contexts. Always ensure you have permission before attempting to retrieve any passwords.
