I’ve found this to be handy to take a screenshot of for the folks I work with after all, it gives you a useful picture of all of your network info for the device in question. That menu item will pull down a window with a list of them all (which is hopefully not redacted the way mine is below): The password you need for this will be the so-called base station password, so if you do a search in Keychain Access for that as described in my article linked above, you should be able to find it.Īnyway, though, once you’re in, click the “Edit” button on the device’s info pop-up:Īnd when you’re within that edit mode, you can use the “Base Station” menu at the top to choose “Show Passwords.” Then you’ll either have to know this password to get to all of the OTHER associated passwords, or you will indeed have to look through Keychain Access for that info, as I’ve written about before.

It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led.
