Mac OSX Terminal – Get Stored Wireless (Wi-Fi) Password

Posted on By David Kittell

Addition to Find & Scan Wireless Networks the additional line will require a password but then display the stored password for the defined router name.

# List all Wi-Fi
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -s

# Get Stored Password To Wi-Fi
security find-generic-password -ga "Router_Name" | grep "password:"
