If you want to retrieve a saved wireless network password from Android or iOS, you'll have to have a rooted or jailbroken device - sadly, there is no standard way to pull up security credentials. Click the Show characters check box, and the network password will be revealed.In the Properties dialog that appears, move to the Security tab.Right click on the wireless network adaptor and select Status.Press the Windows key and R, type ncpa.cpl and press Enter.The same method works in Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10, but it's important to note that you need to be connected to the network you are trying to retrieve the password for. If you already have the password for a wireless network saved on your laptop and want to retrieve it to use on your phone - or share with someone else - things are quite simple.
