Manage your passwords

Wi-Fi has evolved into a fundamental requirement of modern living. It is now available everywhere, however, if you are at home and you can’t remember your password, we will show you today how to find the password of the connected Wi-Fi using CMD, as well as another method.

There are so many different Wi-Fi networks and many different things to remember, that it’s easy to become disoriented when trying to remember the passwords for all of the different ones you’ve joined in the past.

Do not be concerned if you have just changed your Wi-Fi password or if you have set it a long time ago and now need to share it with someone else or use it on a different device.

If you didn’t alter the default one provided by the Wi-Fi equipment or if you merely reset your router, you may simply refer to the one located on the back of the modem. Otherwise, let’s jump into the list of methods that show you how to find your Wi-Fi password in Windows 11. Follow along!

How can I view all saved Wi-Fi passwords in Windows 11?

Press the Windows key + S and search for cmd, right-click on it, and choose Run as administrator.

Next, type in the following command and hit Enter. This command will list all the Wi-Fi networks saved on that PC: netsh wlan show profile

Now select the network whose password is needed, and type the following command. Please keep in mind that xyz must be substituted with the name of the network whose password the user is attempting to recover.: netsh wlan show profile name="xyz" key=clear

While the methods described below work flawlessly for the currently active Wi-Fi connection, they do not allow users to view the passwords for any other networks that the PC has ever connected to. Users will have to use the command-line in order to accomplish this as we have shown above.

Programs, anti-virus software, and firewalls (firewalls) can all play a role in producing Wi-Fi connection issues, which can include errors after entering the right Wifi password but still failing to connect.
