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

If you’re trying to show the WiFi password on Windows 10 via the Command Prompt and skip the whole "Run as administrator" thing, you’re going to hit a wall. You must give the command prompt admin privileges to dig into network settings.

Make sure you’re pulling up the correct network profile. If you’re connected to multiple networks, you might accidentally try to grab the password for one that’s not even in use. Check your taskbar to see which network is active!

Some networks, especially corporate or public ones, might have additional security settings that keep you from seeing the password even if you’re connected. If you’re in a place that locks down WiFi for security, you might just need to ask the admin for the password like everyone else!
