How to Find Your WiFi Password on a Mac
Forgetting your WiFi password can be frustrating, especially when you need to connect a new device or share it with someone else. Fortunately, on a Mac, you can easily retrieve your WiFi password using the Keychain Access utility. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open Keychain Access
To begin, click on the Spotlight search icon (magnifying glass) in the top-right corner of your Mac’s screen. Type “Keychain Access” and select the app from the search results.
Step 2: Locate Your WiFi Network
In the Keychain Access window, click on the “System” keychain on the left-hand side. Then, under the “Category” section, select “Passwords.” Look for your WiFi network name in the list of saved passwords.
Step 3: Reveal the Password
Double-click on your WiFi network name, and a new window will appear. Check the box next to “Show password” and enter your administrative password when prompted. The WiFi password will now be visible in the password field.
It’s important to note that you’ll need administrative privileges to access the WiFi password using this method. If you’re not the administrator of your Mac, you may need to ask for assistance from the person who set up the network or has administrative access.
By following these simple steps, you can easily find your WiFi password on a Mac using the Keychain Access utility. Remember to keep your WiFi password secure and avoid sharing it with unauthorized individuals.
