This is a simple trick to read the already saved / registrated wlan / wifi passwords from your computer

How to do it

Important

  • you need to have the password alrealy registered in your computer
  • you need to know your SSID (the name of the wifi / wlan, e.g. FritzBox1)

You can although copy the code downbelow and safe it as a .bat file, after running, it will display all saved in the terminal, but this is optional.

  2. type in netsh wlan show profile SSID key=clear

  3. replace SSID with your network name

  4. scroll down to security settings

  5. search for Key Content, this is the saved password
