How to Find Your Wi-Fi Password in Windows (Quick Guide)​

Ever needed your Wi-Fi password to connect another device but couldn’t remember it?
If your Windows PC is already connected to the network, you can easily view the saved password.

Method 1 — Using Network Settings​

1. Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type:
   

   control.exe /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter

   and press Enter.
3. Click on your Wi-Fi network name next to Connections.
4. In the new window, click Wireless Properties.
5. Go to the Security tab.
6. Tick Show characters to reveal your Wi-Fi password.

Method 2 — Using Command Prompt​

1. Press Windows + R, type:
   

   cmd

   and press Enter.
2. Run this command to see all saved Wi-Fi profiles:
   

   netsh wlan show profiles

3. Find your network name in the list, then run:
   

   netsh wlan show profile name="NETWORK_NAME" key=clear

   (Replace NETWORK_NAME with your Wi-Fi name)
4. Look under Key Content — that’s your Wi-Fi password.

Tips​

• Works only if your PC has connected to the network before.
• For security, don’t post your password publicly.
• You can also run these commands in PowerShell the same way.
