Not one to usually comment, but just wanted to say thank you - been trying this for a while and couldn't do it. The final trick 'search on the top right' for the name of the network made it. Thanks!

[@williamrozell7230]

You're very cool. I love your personality but the video was over 2 minutes, not 20 seconds still cannot get online but I like ya.

[@lucasmacinhome]

Hah! Well cheers, I hope you enjoy some other videos. And if you time yourself going from Finder to Spotlight to Keychain Access to getting into your Wifi password it's 20 seconds. I timed myself before promising that, just to make sure. ;)

[@Mamuမးမုၣ်]

thank you so much! it worked for me!!! and I have MacBook Air

[@lucasmacinhome]

Excellent. Still works for me regularly. I use it on my Mac and many others.

[@kamilabielecka9868]

Sooo good!!! So easy! Thank you so much!

[@lancebaker5445]

I found Keychain Access logically in Applications > Utilities. Got to point of my Mac's password (which I type to get into my Mac daily with no problem). Keychain Access shakes a "NO" to it. Now what?

[@literatiglee]

Dayum. Now I know the why behind Spotlight, too! Arigato!

[@lucasmacinhome]

Nice! :D
