I've been in situations where I often forget my Wi-Fi password as it consists of complex characters and symbols i don't typically use.

I recently learned of a way to figure out the wifi password if you happen to have a device connected already and just don't remember it.

If you type "netsh wlan show profile WIFISSID key=clear" in your command prompt <- replace the WIFISSID with your Wifi name. It should spit out the wifi password key that is being used.

Note: This does not require admin rights!

Great tip! I tend to use unique passwords for all my services and often forget my wifi password.

Just wanted to add to your cmd promt that if you use the following code, you can get the same details for all your saved connections. Meaning you don't have to enter SSID name. This is helpful especially if your SSID name is long/complicated.

Code:

for /f "skip=9 tokens=1,2 delims=:" %i in ('netsh wlan show profiles') do @echo %j | findstr -i -v echo | netsh wlan show profiles %j key=clear

instead of:

Code:

netsh wlan show profile WIFISSID key=clear
