Forgot what your WiFi password was? Discover how to recover it in Windows 10 and 11

The operating systems of microsoft, Windows 10 and 11, provide us with a way to remember a WiFi password, if these devices are already connected to the network. To find it, we just have to follow a few steps within the same computers.

Users need to know before they start that they are going to display the key on their screen, so they must be sure that those around them are not a possible danger to the security of their internet network. This is important because if third parties use your WiFi constantly, it can cause drops or slowness in the speed of your service.

How do I recover my WiFi password in Windows 10 and 11?

1. Go to the ‘Control Panel’. You can do this by searching for the tool manually, or just by typing the name in the search box. Inside, you will have to enter ‘Network and Internet‘. Another way to get to this point is to go to ‘Settings’ and choose ‘Network and Internet’, then go to ‘Status’ and finally to ‘Center network and sharing‘.

2. In the Network and Sharing Center, click on what shows ‘connections‘ (Your WiFi network name should come out). This will bring up a window called ‘Wi-Fi status‘.
