i want the one that can show all my passwords

You cannot directly view all your saved passwords using the Command Prompt (CMD) for
security reasons. However, you can retrieve some stored passwords, such as Wi-Fi
passwords, using CMD.

1. View Saved Wi-Fi Passwords

To see the saved Wi-Fi networks on your computer, use:

sql

CopyEdit

netsh wlan show profiles

Then, to see the password of a specific Wi-Fi network, use:

pgsql

CopyEdit

netsh wlan show profile name="WiFiName" key=clear

(Replace "WiFiName" with the actual network name.)


Look for "Key Content", which is the Wi-Fi password.

2. View Windows Credentials (Using PowerShell)

To retrieve saved passwords from Windows Credential Manager, open PowerShell as


administrator and run:

powershell

CopyEdit

cmdkey /list

This will show saved credentials but not passwords.

3. Extract Browsers' Saved Passwords

Windows does not provide a built-in CMD command to retrieve stored passwords from
browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.). You need third-party tools like NirSoft's
WebBrowserPassView (use with caution).

4. Check Remote Desktop Saved Passwords

If you've saved Remote Desktop credentials, use:


bash

CopyEdit

cmdkey /list

Would you like a method to recover passwords using a third-party tool, or do you have a
specific type of password in mind?
