Many people want to recover the password for the Wi-Fi network connected to their devices, whether to forget it or to connect a new device to the network.
Fortunately, operating systems such as Windows provide a way to view the password stored on the device, provided that the device has previously connected to the network.
According to Microsoft technical support instructions, the password can be revealed by entering the network settings, then choosing Network & Internet, then Network and Sharing Center.
After that, click on the name of the Wi-Fi network to which it is connected, then choose Wireless Properties and go to the Security section, where the Show characters option can be activated to display the saved password.
In addition, the password can be found through the Command Prompt by typing a command that displays the details of the saved networks, for example: netsh wlan show profile name=”network name” key=clear, then the password will appear under the network’s security information.
