How to See or Show WiFi Password on Windows 10 PC?

The wifi password is encrypted using the Data Protection API (DPAPI) and stored in a secure way, ensuring that even if someone gains access to your computer, the password is not easily accessible. To view the password, you generally need to use tools like Command Prompt or PowerShell, as the data is encrypted in the storage locations listed above.

In the Windows registry, there’s a key for each network profile that contains settings, including the WiFi password (in encrypted form). However, this is not the recommended method for finding the wifi password in Windows 10 due to encryption, and it’s not a user-friendly method.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

This is the place you can see wifi password from Windows 10 PC via the Registry editor.
