Did you know your Windows laptop remembers every Wi-Fi network and password you’ve used?

Your Windows laptop remembers every Wi-Fi network you’ve ever accessed with it and the associated network password. That’s a huge convenience when you walk back into the same coffee shop or hotel you’ve visited before and your system connects right away, without even asking you for credentials.

But what happens if you want to take that same network password and use it on your phone or give it to your friend who is asking “what’s the password in here?” Fortunately, Windows 11 and 10 make it relatively easy to find and view all of your stored Wi-Fi passwords, if you just follow a few simple steps, which are the same in both operating systems.

How to Find the Wi-Fi Password for Your Current Network

1. Navigate to the View Network Connections

2. Right click on your Wi-Fi connection icon and select Status.

3. Click the Wireless Properties button.

4. Click the Security tab.

5. Toggle “Show characters” to on.
