How to See or Show WiFi Password on Windows 10 PC?
To see WiFi Password on Windows 10 PC. I ended up digging into the command prompt to find that elusive password. I mean, it’s pretty straightforward, right? You just type in a few commands, and bam! There’s the password, like magic. But, looking back, I realized there are a few downsides to doing this, and it's good to think about them.
The biggest concern is security. If someone else has access to your computer, they can also access your command prompt and view your WiFi password. This could let unwanted guests connect to your network, which could slow it down or even expose your personal data.
You might be in a situation where you casually share your screen or a friend looks over your shoulder while you’re typing those commands. Next thing you know, they’ve got your password and could use it whenever they want. Awkward!
Even if you retrieve the password, there’s the chance you'll forget it again later, especially if you’ve got a ton of other passwords floating around in your head. It might become a constant cycle of retrieval.
