How To Find All Saved Wi-Fi Passwords in Windows

Windows allows you to uncover all saved Wi-Fi passwords using built-in tools like Command Prompt. This is especially useful if you need to reconnect devices or back up your network credentials. Here’s a clear step-by-step guide.

Find All Saved Wi-Fi Passwords

• Open Command Prompt as Administrator: Press Windows Key + X, then select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin).
• List All Saved Wi-Fi Profiles: Run the command:

  netsh wlan show profiles

  This will display all Wi-Fi networks your system has connected to.
• View Password for a Specific Network: Run:

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

  Replace NETWORK_NAME with the actual profile name. Find the password under Security settings → Key Content.

Bonus: Export All Wi-Fi Profiles with Passwords

• Create a backup folder:

  mkdir "C:\WiFiBackup"

• Export all profiles with passwords:

  netsh wlan export profile key=clear folder="C:\WiFiBackup"

  This generates .xml files containing each network’s settings and passwords in plain text.

With these commands, you can easily retrieve or back up all saved Wi-Fi credentials on your Windows machine. This ensures you’ll never lose access to your networks, even when setting up new devices or reinstalling Windows.
