WiFi password is encrypted and hidden by default on Windows PC. That's why it is pretty hard to find the wifi password. If you want to do this in a simple way, here is the answer:
Speaking of checking the WiFi password through the control panel, I remembered the last time my friend suddenly asked me to borrow the WiFi, but she forgot to bring the password. She stayed at my house for a long time, and when she was about to go online, she realized that she didn't write down the password, and she was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. At that time, I remembered that the WiFi password was on the computer, but I didn't know where to look for it. Later, I thought of looking for it through the control panel, and it really saved a lot of trouble.
- Open the control panel: I first pressed Win + S to open the search box, type "Control Panel" and click to enter. In fact, you can also find the control panel directly in the start menu.
- Enter the Network and Sharing Center: In the control panel, I clicked "Network and Internet" and then entered the "Network and Sharing Center".
- Click the currently connected WiFi: On the "Network and Sharing Center" page, there is an "Active Network" section at the top, which shows the name of the WiFi I am currently connected to. I clicked on that WiFi name.
- Enter the wireless properties: At this time, a WiFi status window popped up, and I clicked "Wireless Properties".
- View WiFi password on Windows 10: Then switch to the "Security" tab, check "Show Characters", and the password will be displayed below!
