Techneverends - Wifi password is a code many want and even fear because it is not uncommon for everyone to want to know it. Why do Apple and Microsoft make it difficult for their service users to find wifi passwords on Windows and Mac? No one knows, but after all, passwords are valuable information. But rest assured that the password will be available if you want to click some menus.
It's not only your computer that hides the wifi password. You also can't see the password on your iPhone and Android devices. But if someone asks for your wifi password, as long as one of your devices is still connected to the wifi network, then you can help.
Recommendations for you
How to see wifi passwords in Windows
Microsoft hides your wifi password behind various settings pages. However, finding these settings will be slightly different depending on what platform you are using. So the question is, how do we get there? If you are running Windows 11, you can follow these steps:
- First, please press the Start menu,
- Then type and go to Control Panel,
- After the Control Panel opens, please click Network and Internet,
- Then click Network and Sharing Center.
- Please select the Wifi Network you want to view,
- Then in the Wifi Status section, please click Wireless Properties,
- Click the Security tab, and make sure the Show Characters checkbox is checked.
If you follow the steps above, you can now see the wifi password on the network you selected earlier. If you are using Windows 10, you can follow the same steps above. Now you can share your password or write it down, so it's easy to remember.
How to see wifi passwords on Mac
Apple does things a little differently than Windows. You do not need to see the password for the network you are currently using. Instead, macOS stores every wifi password you connect to in your device's keychain and will be available to access anytime and anywhere. You can share wifi passwords from the living room to the family room or create special coding for Coffee Shops that don't like sharing wifi.
To find your wifi password on Mac, you can follow these steps:
- Please open the Keychain Access menu on your Mac (the fastest way is to search for it using the Command + Space key),
- After logging in, please type the name of your wifi network into the search form, then click the network name when it appears in the search list,
- When the network appears, click the (i) icon at the top of the window or right-click on the network name and select the Get Info option,
- Then click the checkbox to check the Show Password option,
- Enter your Mac password, and Keychain Access will display the password for the wifi network you selected earlier.
