Finding WiFi Passwords via Command Line

For those of you who are comfortable with computers, you can also use the command line tool built into Windows 10 to quickly find saved WiFi passwords. It is very convenient, as you do not have to download any extra software and just run a single command. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Search and open Command Prompt app on Windows 10. Right-click and hit Run as Administrator.

Step 2: Type this: netsh wlan show profile. This will show you a list of networks you’ve connected to in the past.

Step 3: Find the network that you need the password for. Once you find it, type in the following: netsh wlan show profile [wifi-name] key=clear.

Remember to replace [wifi-name] with the real WiFi username. Then the password will appear next to the section which says Key Content.
