Mac: Show WLAN password

Should you be afraid of forgetting your WLAN password, you don't need to worry further with a Mac. Your Mac stores entered passwords in a specific menu. The prerequisite is, of course, that you have previously indicated to the network that the Mac should remember it.

Show WLAN password on Mac - step by step

Showing a saved password on the Mac is very easy. The only important thing is to know where to look for the password.
  1. First you need to open the "Keychain Management", where all passwords are managed.
  2. You can either find this using the Spotlight search, which you activate by the combination of [Command] + [Space] or you manually navigate to "Applications" via "Utilities" and finally to the "Keychain Management".
  3. If the app is open, click on the "Login" entry on the left and now look for the name of the network from which you want to read the password.
  4. Double-click the network and check "Show password".
  5. Der Mac fordert Sie nun erneut dazu auf, sich mit Ihrem Konto anzumelden und zeigt Ihnen im Anschluss das Passwort an.

Mac: WLAN-Passwort anzeigen lassen – ist das unsicher?

  1. Wenn möglich, sollten Sie unter keinen Umständen Ihr persönliches WLAN-Passwort am Mac abspeichern.
  2. Falls Sie diesen unbeachtet lassen, kann jedermann problemlos Zugang zu Ihrem Netzwerk bekommen.
  3. Wenn Sie jedoch ein Konto mit einem Passwort einrichten, würden Angreifer bei der Kontobestätigung scheitern und Sie können das Passwort unbedenklich speichern.
