Hi G Thomas,

The show Wi-Fi password has been built into Windows for a very long time. Creating a very secure password can help.

to disable the ability to view the Wi-Fi security key using either the registry or Intune, you can follow these steps:

Option 1: Disable via Registry

You can restrict users from viewing Wi-Fi passwords by disabling the netsh command via Group Policy or registry settings. Here’s how to do it through the registry:

Open Registry Editor:

o Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

Navigate to the Following Path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WcmSvc\GroupPolicy

o If the WcmSvc or GroupPolicy keys do not exist, you will need to create them.

Create a New DWORD Value:

o Right-click on the GroupPolicy folder, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it:

fShowNetworkConnectivityUI

Set the Value:

o Double-click on the fShowNetworkConnectivityUI entry and set its value to 0.

Restart the Computer:

o Restart your device to apply the changes.

Option 2: Disable via Intune

You can achieve a similar restriction using Intune by applying a custom configuration profile:

Create a Configuration Profile:

o In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, go to Devices > Configuration profiles > Create profile.

Select Profile Type:

o Platform: Windows 10 and later

o Profile type: Custom

Configure OMA-URI Settings:

o Name: Disable View Wi-Fi Key

o Description: Restrict users from viewing the Wi-Fi key

o OMA-URI:

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Connectivity/DoNotViewWiFiPassword

o Data type: Integer

o Value: 1

Assign the Policy:

o Assign the profile to the desired user or device group.

Sync the Devices:

o After applying the configuration, initiate a sync from the affected devices to ensure the policy is applied.

With these methods, users will no longer have the ability to view Wi-Fi security keys on their devices.
