The GUI way of doing this on Windows (if you're currently connected to said network) is to do the following:

1. Go to Network Connections.

2. Right click the WiFi connection and click status.

3. Click Wireless Properties

4. Click on the Security Tab, and then click Show Characters.

Wow, I can't believe that worked...

This doesn't feel very secure at all.

Secure? You're revealing a password that you already know.

This worries me at home.

Say I have a party and the neighbor comes over. A few seconds on my unattended computer and they can use my Internet.

If you have a malicious person in your home with physical access to your unlocked machine, your wifi password is the least of your worries.

Now that you stated the cliché about physical access blabla, could we please consider his point as a valid concern?

They could run a rootkit/keylogger/download contraband to your computer in the same time. A lot more to worry about than just learning your wifi password.

[thaumasiotes]

Where exactly do you think the insecurity is coming from here? Your guests could do anything at all with a few seconds on your computer. Learning the network password is the least of your worries.

On my domestic adsl modem/router I use MAC address filtering as well as wpa2. That might slow them down a little tiny bit.

I imagine at the end of the day, you need to change your wifi password now and again (mind you I've left mine the same for a year or 18 months).

Most new routers have the WPS button anyway. Then it's mostly automatic.
