    deleting hidden wifi passwords


    For security reasons i always disable the option autoreconnect when i connect to my wifi router.

    Normally this means that no profile will be created,and I thought the pass was not saved.
    Now i tried a program named "wifi password revealer" and, ssid and pasword is somewhere logged.
    I have search the register with Regedit, but i could not find it.
    Do someone knows where it is hidden and how i can delete it?

    I don't know why you would think hiding the auto logon is a security issue. Does someone else have access to your computer or what?

    You don't have to worry.

    If you use a 16 random character password, and WPA2-PSK encryption your quite secure. Strong Random Password Generator is excellent for this.

    Try Nir Sofer's WirelessKeyView for x64

    The wireless keys are stored in the file system, under c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces. The encrypted keys are stored in .xml file

    Here's an article on WPA3
