find wi-fi password in Key chain?

Open key chain access via spotlight , double clicked on base station name .

Checked the box of show password .

Entered user name and password , clicked on ok .

Another window appeared , again entered the user name and password and clicked on allow .

The password for your wireless network will be shown , in the end unchecked the box of show password , right clicked on the keychain access that was in the dock and clicked on quit .

If it still doesn't show go to user library , click on Go > Go to folder > and type ~/Library > find a folder preferences > drag and drop only the contents of first folder By Hosts to the desktop and in the same preferences folder drag and drop com.applekeychainaccess.plist to the desktop .

Restart the machine , open the application keychain access for few minutes again enter into the user library and verify the keychain plist is recreated.

Once , you are sure delete By Hosts contents and com.applekeychainaccess.plist from the desktop into the trash , restart and empty the trash .

Hi George ..

Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities

Then select Passwords on the left.

Type in the name of your Wi-Fi network in the search field top right corner of that window.

Then right or control click that keychain then click Get Info then select the Attributes tab then click Show password.

I have the same issue but the keychain is not showing wifi passwords. When I search for the wifi key, older airport keys show up but not the current active wifi name.
