If you don’t have it saved in Windows, there are many other ways you can find a forgotten Wi-Fi password, including on another device (like a Mac), in a router’s web interface, or even printed on the router itself. Note that you can also use this technique to find saved passwords for websites or other passwords that you computer has stored but you have forgotten. Repeat this process for each Wi-Fi network you want to find the password for.

If no such entry appears, it means the password is not stored on your computer. Reset network settings in System Preferences On the left list of the Network interface, select your WiFi connection. That should show you the password for the wireless network you are on, if it is stored on your computer. On Yosemite, you may have to select 'Local Items' rather than 'login' under Keychains in the upper left.ĭouble-click the name of the network you are using (if you don't know the name of the network, you can find it in the WiFi menulet (the concentric quarter circles toward the right side of your menu bar).Ĭheck the Show password box, enter your system password, and click the Allow button. If you click the Kind column header, it will sort by kind, go to the section where AirPort network passwords are stored. If you open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, it will show you a list of stored entries.

If the password is stored, you can find it using the program Keychain Access.
