How to hide wireless password in windows 7 & 8.1

When you go to the properties of a WIFI network, you have the fields to input the WIFI key, WPA2 key here in my case, and you also have a checkbox that allow you to "unmask" the characters of the WIFI key. This is actually the problem. Anyone who can access the WIFI network properties, will be able to see the WIFI key, which is really an issue ,which don't want to happen for obvious reasons..











  • go to run------> regedit


In reg search for ----> AppID
