View WiFi Password on Windows

Thanks to this post, I can now use the following command to view my WiFi passwords without having to repeatedly ask for them when hooking up other gadgets:


Open your command prompt with Administrator Privileges (This is necessary to see the WiFi password)

This is to see your networks you've already setup:


netsh wlan show profiles

And when you see your SSID in there, I'll call this <SSID>, then type:

netsh wlan show profile name= <SSID> key=clear

You should see your password on the Key Content line in the Security Section.

Cool!
