How to find Wi-Fi password using CMD on all connected networks?




It is very easy to find Windows 10 WiFi password using several CMD commands. These commands work when you are offline or connected to another WiFi network.

When we connect to a WiFi network and enter the password to connect to that network, we actually create a WLAN profile on that WiFi network. That profile is stored on our computer along with other necessary information in the WiFi profile.

Using commands, you can further optimize our specialized WiFi network, such as Mac randomization, changing the radio type of your WiFi, and activating certain features.

If you cannot remember your wireless network password, one way is to access it through your router's settings. But navigating through router settings can sometimes be tricky. So, instead of using the GUI to find individual passwords, we can search the WiFi password on that particular WiFi network using CMD.
