    This is wrong. Going into Network and Sharing Center only shows you your current Ethernet connection, not wifi

    rahulkhorwal You can easily find and see WiFi Password on Windows 11 with a single command. 

     

    Press Win + S to open the search bar.

    Type "cmd" and select "Run as administrator" to open Command Prompt with admin privileges.

    Now, copy the network name you want to see the password. Type the following command, replacing "NetworkName" with the name of the WiFi network you want to view:

    netsh wlan show profile name="NetworkName" key=clear

    Look for the "Key Content" field under "Security settings." This field displays the WiFi password.

     

    By using this method, you can safely retrieve the WiFi password on Windows 11.
