Windows 11: How to easily find your Wi-Fi password

Windows 11: How to easily find your Wi-Fi password

While writing down your Wi-Fi password on a piece of paper isn't the best solution, trying to remember it can quickly become a headache. If you don't have it saved anywhere, not even in a password manager, you can always ask Windows 11 to show it to you.

Microsoft's operating system saves all the Wi-Fi passwords for the Wi-Fi networks you've connected to. You can easily retrieve your Box's Wi-Fi connection password by searching through Windows settings to display it in clear text.

You will then just have to copy it to share it with a third party, or save it in a password manager worthy of the name.

1. Open Settings

Start by opening Windows 11's Settings. To do this, use the keyboard shortcut Windows + i.

2. Go to Known Networks

Now select Network & Internet in the left column, then click on the Wi-Fi menu.
