Blog with Mo – There’s a very specific difference between blogging as a hobby and blogging to make money.

How to retrieve a stored WiFi password from your Mac
A while back I wrote this post explaining how to retrieve a stored WiFi password from a Windows 11 PC.
Today I’m going to explain how to do the same thing on a Mac. It’s actually very simple. Just follow the steps below:
1 – Press the Command+Space Bar key combination to open the Spotlight search tool.
2 – Search for “Keychain Access” and open it.
3 – Search for the name of the Wi-Fi network and double-click on it once you see it pop up in the list of search results.
4 – Click the Show Password box, then enter your Mac’s password.
That’s all there is to it. You should now see that WiFi network’s password displayed on the screen.
