When we connect to the Internet using a wireless/WiFi connection, we do so by entering the password and mostly checking the "connect automatically" option for future use. However, we rarely note down the password manually somewhere for future reference. The problem arises when we need the password again, for example when a visitor asks for it. Fortunately, our Ubuntu system saves this password, and all the connection configurations, for all the wireless connections you ever connected to. These are referred to as your "known" wireless connections. These passwords and other configurations can be easily retrieved through the Ubuntu command line and the graphical user interface.

In this video, we will describe two ways for you to find the saved passwords for your wireless connections:

Through Ubuntu Settings Utility(UI)
