Forgot your WiFi password? No need to panic, simply follow the steps below to check WiFi password in Windows 10.
WiFi is one of the most amazing inventions of all time. Previously, the world was over awed by the fast speed DSL and Broadband connections that brought megabytes of internet speed to computing devices. Going a little more backward, come modem connections. Though an ingenious invention of its time, when comparing it with what we have today is like comparing a Formula 1 race car to a Honda Civic.
The modem connections were wisely and gratefully sent packing, then came the DSL and Broadband connections. They were high speed and I cannot forget my first experience with a DSL connection. It was truly amazing. Previously, with a modem connection, I used to enter a URL and go somewhere for some itty bitty work then come back to find the website fully loaded. This time around, it was like a miracle. The website was there, fully ready to serve me, seconds after my click.
Although, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing when it comes to WiFi and Windows 10. Many users, even myself, complained about Windows 10 being very buggy when it comes to WiFi connectivity.
However, DSL and Broadband connections also had a problem. The wiring, disconnectivity again and again etc. were some of its most annoying characteristics. Then, came the WiFi. Simply amazing, one could surf the Internet anywhere, inside its hot spot radius that is. So, we here at Windows Clan, thought why not to bring you the way to check WiFi password? The process is discussed after the jump.
