Trying to connect my phone to my girlfriend's home network. My laptop already has it saved from a previous visit, but I've forgotten what it was and the sticker with the router's default pass code has been removed. Is there a way that I can access a list of the already-saved network passwords for my system?
Click on the wifi icon in the menu bar and choose edit connections. Select the network you wish from the list and press edit. Go to the 'Wi-Fi security' tab, and there's an option Show password
And if you want to do this from the terminal type this in:
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/the-name-of-your-network, and it will be under an entry psk. Obviously put the name of your network under the-name-of-your-network. To make it easier, you can press tab twice after typing in sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and you will see the available files, one of which will be your network.
