Viewing Your Wireless Password From an Already Connected Machine To view your wireless network password we need to get to the settings for your network adapter, so press the Win + R keyboard combination and type ncpa.cpl in the run box, then hit the enter key. You will now see all the network adapters in your machine, right-click on the wireless one and select Status from the context menu. When the Wi-Fi Status dialog loads up, click on the Wireless Properties button.

I don't know do it, can you help me? Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum. As I know, this feature is by design. If you want to disable this function, it requires a new design. I'm afraid that it is not allowed to do so. I'm sorry for bringing you this concern, however, I recommend that you reset your network settings and don't check 'Show characters' box. Generally, the marked password is by default as a security network.

By default, our users are not local admins of their workstations, so the majority is not a problem; HOWEVER, there are a certain few who have laptops that have to be local admins because of active x control issues and software programmers who refuse to write their software to work with basic user rights. So if a person finds out that they can retrieve the key in their wireless network would pose to be a huge breach in security. I'm surprised Microsoft didn't develop a way to disable this feature for administrators of the local workstation. I have clients that have laptop users and the laptop users need local administrator rights on their computers.

I found out that restricting access to the Network and Sharing Center did not prevent the ability to view and see the properties (including the wireless keys) for local administrators. I was still able to view these properties through a shortcut to Manage Wireless Networks and/or by right clicking on a WLAN adapter, then Status, then Wireless Properties. Therefore, I set out to find a different method to prevent access to this information using a Software Restriction Policies GPO. The method that I have used below is drastic as it prevents access to be able to edit WLAN profiles. Users can still connect to a wireless network they simply cannot edit any of the properties. Here’s how 1. Create a new GPO and link it to the OU where you want the policy applied.
