Surely you have been in a situation like the one we are going to describe. You have been connected to a WiFi network for so long that you forget what the password was with which you entered. Besides, years ago you threw away the paper where you had it written down. What can you do? Here we tell you how to recover it with the help of Windows.
Windows 10 and 11 They have a little ability that will allow us to recover WiFi passwords. Of course, to do so, the computers must have connected to the network beforehand in order to determine the forgotten password. Then just follow a few steps and you’ll get out of trouble.
The first thing you should do is to go to the Windows Control Panel within your team. If you can’t find where it is, you can search for it within the search box in the start menu. Once there You should go to the ‘Networks and Internet’ section. Subsequently, look for the ‘Network and Sharing Center‘.
Here we will continue towards the option that says connections. You should see the name of the WIFI network whose key you want to recover. Click on the name and a window will appear that will say ‘WIFI status’. Once you hit that button, go to ‘wireless properties’.
We recommend you: Internet Explorer: the browser that did everything wrong but started the digital revolution
Now you just have to see the ‘wireless network properties‘. Within these you will find the ‘security‘ and right there is the option of ‘network security code’. Pressing that will bring up the key. Although it will appear in asterisks, you can reveal it by choosing the ‘show characters’ option. This is how you can recover your WiFi password in Windows.
Also in Apple you can recover the key of your WIFI as in Window
If you don’t have a device with Windows and instead you have a computer from Manzana, then we also have a solution. Here what you should do is use spotlight to find the ‘Access to keychains’ section. Once there, go to the ‘passwords‘.
To make the process easier, look for the name of your WiFi network in the magnifying glass at the top. Double click on the name of your network, then press the ‘show password’ button and that’s it. Now you have two methods to recover the keys of your networks, either on Mac or on Windows. Just make sure you only share them with people you trust.
