\n\n

\ud83d\udd0d Method 1 \u2013 Through Access to Keys<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  1. On your Mac, open the Keychain Access<\/strong> app.\n
      \n
    • Tip: press Command \u2318 + Espa\u00e7o<\/code> and type Access Keys<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In the sidebar, select System<\/strong> (or Login<\/em>, depending on where the network was saved).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Use the search bar to enter the name of the Wi-Fi network<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Double-click<\/strong> on the result found.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Check the Show passwor<\/strong>d option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Enter your administrator username and password<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Done! The password will be displayed in the field.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
      \n\n

      \ud83d\udcbb Method 2 \u2013 Using Terminal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

      If you prefer to use a command:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      1. Open the Terminal<\/strong> (Command \u2318 + Espa\u00e7o<\/code> \u2192 type Terminal<\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Type the command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
        security find-generic-password -ga \"NOME_DA_REDE\" | grep \"password:\"
        <\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n
        \n
        Replace \"NOME_DA_REDE\"<\/code> by the exact name of the Wi-Fi network.The system will ask for your administrator password before displaying the password.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
        \n\n
