Find Saved WiFi Password In Linux Mint 16 [Beginner]
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
When you connect to a wireless network using WEP, WPA or WPA2-PSK, the password is saved in Linux Mint (or any other OS) when you use “connect automatically”. Imagine a situation where you need to know the WiFi password and you have not noted it down somewhere for e.g., if you need to provide the password to a visitor. You can easily retrieve the password of an earlier connected wireless network.
|
||
|
||
In this **beginner’s tutorial**, we shall see **how to find the saved WiFi passwords in Linux Mint 16 Petra**.
|
||
|
||
### Find saved WiFi password in Linux Mint: ###
|
||
|
||
The procedure to find the saved WiFi password is very simple. Click on the Menu button and type network. Choose **Network Connections** in there:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
In Network Connections, you’ll see all the WiFi networks you have been connected to recently. Select the one for which you want to know the password and click on **Edit**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
In here, under the **Wi-Fi Security** tab, check the **Show password** to reveal the password.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
And that’s all you had to do to get the saved password. You can do similar steps to [get the stored WiFi passwords in Ubuntu][1]. I hope the article helped you.
