How to Find Saved WiFi Passwords on Windows 10

If you've ever forgotten the password to your WiFi network, Windows 10 makes it easy to retrieve it. Here's how:

1. Open the Command Prompt by searching for 'cmd' in the Windows search bar and selecting 'Run as administrator'.
2. Once the Command Prompt is open, type 'netsh wlan show profile' and press Enter.
3. You will see a list of all the WiFi networks your computer has connected to. Find the one you need the password for and type 'netsh wlan show profile name=YOUR_NETWORK_NAME key=clear', replacing 'YOUR_NETWORK_NAME' with the name of your WiFi network.
4. Look for the 'Key Content' field, and next to it, you will see the WiFi password in clear text.

It's important to note that you can only retrieve passwords for WiFi networks your computer has previously connected to. Make sure to keep your device secure to prevent unauthorized access to your WiFi passwords.
