One-liner
A one-liner you can use:
sudo grep --with-filename psk= /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*
For example:
$ sudo grep --with-filename psk= /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/SHAW-999999:psk=99999A999999
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/SHAW-999999-5G:psk=99999A999999
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/SHAW-999999-5G:psk=999999999999
After “system-connections/” you will see your WiFi network name. EG “SHAW-999999”. Then you will see your password after “:psk=”. EG “99999A999999”. WiFi network name and password were redacted in case my neighbour is hoping for a free bus ride :)
