Output

Yes, you can view saved Wi-Fi passwords on macOS using the Terminal. Here's how: 1. Open Terminal (from Applications > Utilities or using Spotlight search) 2. Enter this command to list all saved Wi-Fi networks:

security find-generic-password -ga "NETWORK_NAME" | grep "password:"

Replace NETWORK_NAME with your Wi-Fi network name. If you don't know the name, you can see all saved networks with:

1	networksetup -listpreferredwirelessnetworks en0

Note: You'll be prompted to enter your Mac's admin password when trying to view the Wi-Fi password. Alternatively, you can also find this information through: System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Network tab

Yes, you can view saved Wi-Fi passwords on macOS using the Terminal. Here's how: 1. Open Terminal (you can find it in Applications > Utilities or use Spotlight search) 2. Run this command:

security find-generic-password -ga "WIFI_NAME" -w

Replace WIFI_NAME with the name of your Wi-Fi network. Or to see all saved Wi-Fi networks:

security dump-keychain | grep "AirPort network password"

You can also list all saved Wi-Fi networks:

1	networksetup -listpreferredwirelessnetworks en0

Note: You may be prompted to enter your Mac's admin password when running these commands. Another option is to go to Keychain Access (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access), search for the Wi-Fi network name, and view the password there.

Output

Yes, you can view saved Wi-Fi passwords on macOS using the Terminal. Here's how:

security find-generic-password -ga "WIFI-NAME" -w

Replace WIFI-NAME with your network name. This will show the password for that specific network. Or to see all saved Wi-Fi networks:

security dump-keychain | grep "AirPort network password"

You can also use:

defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences | grep SSIDString

This shows all saved network names. Note: You may be prompted to enter your Mac's admin password to access this information.

Output

Yes, you can view saved Wi-Fi passwords on macOS using the Terminal. Here's how:

security find-generic-password -ga "WIFI-NAME-HERE" | grep "password:"

Or to see all saved Wi-Fi networks:

security dump-keychain | grep -A 5 "AirPort"

You can also use:

defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences | grep SSIDString

This will show you the saved network names, then you can use the first command with the specific network name to get its password. You'll likely need to enter your admin password when running these commands.
