How to Retrieve WiFi Password on Windows

The Shell Code

Open cmd and execute the next command:

netsh wlan present profile identify="David Walsh's Community" key=clear

The results of the command, assuming the community is discovered, is a protracted textual content output with quite a lot of details about the community. To get the see the password for the community, look below the “Safety settings” heading which can seem like this:

Safety settings
-----------------
    Authentication         : WPA2-Private
    Cipher                 : CCMP
    Authentication         : WPA2-Private
    Cipher                 : GCMP
    Safety key           : Current
    Key Content material            : **THE_PLAIN_TEXT_PASSWORD**

As with every difficult command line format, it is best to create an alias so that you simply need not bear in mind the total string!
