How do I view my saved Wi-Fi logins on Windows 10?

When I originally connected to my school wifi network I had to enter a username and password (after the wifi password). I now have a new laptop that I am trying to connect but I can't remember the username and password that is needed. There is no one I can ask about it for the next few weeks. Is there any way to view this saved login? Obviously I have admin privileges. Thanks.

If the old laptop is currently connected to that network do the following:

1. Press the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network and Sharing Center.
2. In Network and Sharing Center, next to Connections, select your Wi-Fi network name.
3. In the Wi-Fi Status window, select Wireless Properties.
4. In Wireless Network Properties, select the Security tab, then select the Show characters check box.
5. Your Wi-Fi network password is displayed in the Network security key box.

If that network is not currently connected on the old laptop you can get the password through CMD or Powershell:

1. Right-click on the Windows icon on the start screen, and open Command prompt/Powershell as an administrator. Now type the following command: netsh wlan show profile
2. This command will list all Wi-Fi profiles that you’ve ever connected to.
3. Now for revealing the password of a specific network, use the command netsh wlan show profile “NETWORK NAME” key=clear”. Substitute “NETWORK NAME” with the Wi-Fi network you want to see the password of
4. You’ll be able to see Wi-Fi password in ‘key content,’ undersecurity settings.

A powershell script to get saved Wi-Fi passwords:

$profiles=(netsh wlan show profiles | Select-String "All User Profile\s+:\s+(.*)").Matches.Groups | Where-Object {$_.Value -notmatch "All User Profile*"} | Foreach { $wlan=netsh wlan show profiles name=$_ key=clear [pscustomobject][ordered]@{ 'SSID' = ($wlan | Select-String "SSID Name\s+:\s+(.*)").Matches.Groups[1].Value 'Radio Type' = ($wlan | Select-String "Radio Type\s+:\s+(.*)").Matches.Groups[1].Value 'Authentication' = ($wlan | Select-String "Authentication\s+:\s+(.*)").Matches.Groups[1].Value 'Password' = ($wlan | Select-String "Key Content\s+:\s+(.*)").Matches.Groups[1].Value }
} | Out-GridView -Title "Saved Wi-Fi passwords (Hold CTRL and select Wi-Fi profiles to apply actions on them)" -Passthru
"You have selected:`n$($profiles)"
$msg=@"
`n
[1] Delete
[2] Quit
"@
choice /c 12 /n /m $Msg
switch($LastExitCode){
1{$profiles|foreach{netsh wlan delete profile name=$_.ssid}}
2{exit 0}
}
