SterJo Wireless Passwords — Recover Lost Wi-Fi & Wireless Network Passwords
Forgotten your Wi-Fi password? SterJo Wireless Passwords is a free, lightweight Windows utility that quickly locates and recovers saved wireless network passwords and connection details from your system — including local and external drives. A portable version is available for technicians and fast recovery tasks.
Quick, safe Wi-Fi password recovery
SterJo Wireless Passwords scans stored connection profiles and system settings to display SSID (network name), saved password (where available), authentication type and encryption method. It does not attempt to break network security — it only reveals credentials that were previously stored on the scanned machine. Export results to a text file for safekeeping.
How SterJo Wireless Passwords works
SterJo Wireless Passwords lists saved wireless connections and their stored credentials.
Download & install
Installing is simple: download the installer or portable ZIP, extract (if applicable) and run WiFiPasswords.exe.
Current Version: 2.0
Notice for Windows XP users: If your network uses WPA, Windows XP may display the saved credential as 64 HEX digits. The HEX key can be used to connect to the network — this behavior is expected. WEP keys are shown normally on XP. Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11 do not display WPA hex in the same way.
System Requirements
SterJo Wireless Passwords runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11 (32-bit and 64-bit versions where applicable).
