Fortunately, if you possess a Windows 10 device, there exists an effortless method to verify your Wi-Fi password directly from your computer. In this guide, I will walk you through the process of checking your Wi-Fi password on Windows 10, so you will not have to face this issue again.
Step 1: Open the Network & Internet Settings
To begin, click on the Windows Start button in the bottom left corner of your screen. From the Start menu, select “Settings” to open the Windows Settings window. In the Settings window, click on “Network & Internet”. This will open the Network & Internet settings page.
Step 2: Access the Wi-Fi Settings
On the left-hand side of the Network & Internet settings page, you’ll see a list of options. Look for and click on “Wi-Fi”. This will open the Wi-Fi settings page, where you can manage and view details about your wireless network connections.
Step 3: View Network Properties
Scroll down on the Wi-Fi settings page until you see the “Advanced network settings” section. Locate and click on the link that says “Manage known networks”. This will take you to a page where you can see a list of all the Wi-Fi networks your computer has connected to in the past.
Step 4: Find Your Wi-Fi Network
In the list of known networks, find the Wi-Fi network for which you want to check the password. Click on it to select it, and then click on the “Properties” button that appears below the list. This will open the network properties window.
Step 5: Reveal the Wi-Fi Network Password
In the network properties window, you’ll see a check box that says “Show characters” next to the “Network security key” field. Check this box, and the Wi-Fi password for the selected network will be revealed in the “Network security key” field.
And that’s it! You have successfully checked your Wi-Fi password on Windows 10. Now you can easily share it with your friends or family members who need to connect to your network.
Remember, it’s always a good idea to keep your Wi-Fi password secure and avoid sharing it with strangers or people you don’t trust. Changing your Wi-Fi password regularly is also recommended to ensure the security of your network.
