Windows is one of the most prevalent operating systems. One of the most consistent features we use on this operating system or any other is connecting our device to the Wi-Fi. So, here is how you see the WiFi password on Windows 10.
Sometimes you tend to forget your Wi-Fi password because your devices connect automatically to the Wi-Fi once you enter the password at the very beginning and other times you need to check the password of a network you are connected to for several other reasons. Then what do you do if you need to know your Wi-Fi password and you did not write it down anywhere? Do you reset your router every time you forget? There is a much simpler way to see your Wi-Fi password.
