Where do i find my internet password

On some of the operating systems we have looked at, the same procedure is used to learn the password of the WiFi network you are currently connected to or any that you have accessed in the past. This is the case with the methods employed on Macs, Android devices, and iOS.

If you are using Windows 7 you can access networks that were accessed in the past by following these steps:

1. Right-click the network icon on the toolbar.
2. Select open network and sharing center.
3. Choose Manage wireless networks.
4. Select the network whose password you want to find from the list.
5. Click the Security tab and check the show characters box to display the password.

Window 8 and 10 users will need to open a command prompt and enter some commands to display passwords from previously accessed wireless networks. To do it, follow these steps:

Type in this command: netsh wlan show profile. This command displays the WiFi profile of every network with which you have connected.

Type in this command, replacing Network Name with the name you wish to investigate: netsh wlan show profile “NETWORK NAME” key=clear.

Because our computers log in to your WiFi network, most of us tend to forget our WiFi passwords. So, what happens if you need your WiFi password for some reason, and you didn’t write it down? You’re in luck because there are ways to retrieve it if your computer is already connected to your network. Here’s how to find your WiFi password on a Windows 10 PC.

How to Find Your WiFi Password on a Windows 10 PC

To find your WiFi password on a Windows 10 PC, open the Windows search bar and type WiFi Settings. Then go to Network and Sharing Center and select your WiFi network name > Wireless Properties > Security > Show characters.
