Three Ways to Recover Your WiFi Password

Choose the method that matches your situation.

1

Find on a connected device

If you have any device already connected to the WiFi — phone, laptop, tablet — you can view the saved password right from its settings. This is the fastest and easiest method. Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Linux all have built-in ways to show saved WiFi passwords.

Access your router admin panel

Every router has a web admin panel at an IP like 192.168.1.1. Log in with admin credentials (check the sticker on your router) and find the WiFi password under Wireless Settings. Default passwords for every brand are available in our database.

GPU handshake recovery

When no devices are connected and you cannot access the router admin, the last resort is capturing a WPA handshake and running a GPU dictionary attack. This works for WPA/WPA2 networks with human-chosen passwords. 60-70% success rate.

Still Can't Find Your WiFi Password?

If you've checked every device and can't access your router admin panel, learn about WPA handshake recovery — a GPU-backed approach that works for WPA/WPA2 networks. Authorized network owners only.

Important: Authorized Use Only

All tools and guides on this site are intended exclusively for recovering passwords to networks you own or have explicit written authorization to access. Unauthorized network access is illegal under the CFAA (US), Computer Misuse Act (UK), and equivalent laws worldwide. We maintain no logs and cannot assist with unauthorized recovery requests. For WPA3 networks, handshake capture is not effective — rely on router admin access or connected-device extraction instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find my forgotten WiFi password?
The easiest way: check a device already connected to the network. Windows (Settings > Network > WiFi Properties > Show password), Mac (Keychain Access), iPhone (iOS 16+ Settings > WiFi > tap network > Password), and Android (10+ QR code method) all let you view saved passwords. If no devices are connected, access your router admin panel at 192.168.1.1 and look under Wireless Settings.
What if I can't access my router admin panel?
Try the default admin credentials printed on the router sticker. Check our router password database for your brand. If the password was changed, a factory reset (hold the Reset button with a paperclip for 10-30 seconds) restores factory defaults — but this erases all custom settings.
What is a WPA handshake?
A WPA handshake is the 4-way authentication exchange between a WiFi client and router when a device connects. It contains cryptographic material that allows offline password verification. This is the basis of GPU-backed handshake recovery for WPA/WPA2 networks.
Is WiFi password recovery legal?
Yes, if you own the network or have explicit written authorization from the owner. Recovering access to your own forgotten WiFi password is legal everywhere. Attempting to access someone else's network without permission is illegal.
What is the success rate of handshake recovery?
60-70% for human-chosen passwords (dictionary words, names, dates, common patterns). Random passwords generated by password managers are not recoverable. WPA3 networks cannot be recovered via handshake capture.
Can WPA3 passwords be recovered?
WPA3 uses the SAE handshake which prevents offline dictionary attacks. If the network runs WPA3 Transition Mode (which allows WPA2 clients), an attacker can capture a WPA2 handshake and attempt recovery. For pure WPA3-only networks, rely on router admin access or connected-device extraction.
