Here’s how to view currently connected Wifi passwords in Windows 10. The following methods show how you can view the Wifi password if your computer is already connected to the network.

Basically, if your computer is already connected to the password-protected wireless network, detail such as the SSID/network name and password are stored in wireless properties.

Hence, if you forgot the Wifi password, you can view them as long as your computer is connected to the network.
