View Wi-Fi passwords in Windows

There is only really one thing you need to remember: you need to be connected to the network for which you want to retrieve a password.

Use the following steps:

• Press the Windows key and R at the same time, and then type ncpa.cpl and press Enter.
• In the Network Connections Control Panel that appears, double click on the icon for the wireless network adaptor.
• Click the Wireless Properties button and then move to the Security

• Check the Show characters box to display the password. (You may need to confirm this via a User Account Control dialog.)
