How to Find the Wi-Fi Password on a Windows 11 PC

View a saved Wi-Fi network password when Windows provides access to it.

Quick Answer

Open the Wi-Fi network properties in Windows Settings and use the option to view the Wi-Fi security key/password when available.

Step by Step

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select Network & internet.
  3. Open Wi-Fi.
  4. Open the properties or management page for the connected/saved network.
  5. Look for the Wi-Fi security key/password option and choose View if your Windows version provides it.
  6. Use the password only for networks you are authorized to access.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Windows menus differ between releases; older methods may use Control Panel → Network and Sharing Center → Wi-Fi Status → Wireless Properties → Security.
  • The router administrator password is not necessarily the same as the Wi-Fi password.
