How to pull the wifi password off a computer

This is worth bookmarking.  Have you forgotten that ultra complicated wifi password you setup, well here are some ways (have to run as admin or sudo depending on the system) to get it from the computer.

Linux

security find-generic-password -ga "ssid"

Windows:

netsh wlan show profile name=ssid key=clear

Mac

security find-generic-password -ga ssid | grep password

replace ssid with your wifi name.
