Reviewed by: CNET Staff
WirelessKeyView's simple-looking interface belies its utility. The main feature lets you view the passwords your Wi-Fi manager has stored, but it offers more than just that. The spreadsheet-style main window shows the properties on any stored network name. Users can view not just the ASCII password, but also the Hex key, the adapter type, and the adapter GUID. If you want to copy any of the information, hit ALT Enter to open a properties window that displays it all in editable text fields.
Besides offering copy and search functions, WirelessKeyView also crams in an HTML report feature for either selected networks or the entire database. All in all, it's a great little app for revealing some of the hidden mysteries of the Wi-Fi signals you're using.

Version: WirelessKeyView 1.16
Pros: It (very simply) shows a list of all the networks you have the keys stored for, along with the wireless adapter name. It's got a nice, easy to use interface, and it doesn't require any installation.
Cons: If all you use it WPA (as I do) you will find this software slightly less than useful. It will give you the WPA key in hex, but not actually reveal it to you. You can NOT get a plain-text version of a WPA key by using this program. WEP functionality remains untested because as previously stated, I do NOT use WEP for anything.

Version: WirelessKeyView 1.16
Pros: Does exactly what it says, much easier to install than Cain if you only want to recover keys.
Cons: It will NOT be able to recover WPA keys. Part of the WPA standard is to digest the key into a hash file which will not work when entered back into the system.
Still, I give it 5 stars, because no program could do this, really...unless you have a wi-fi client that happens to store the key.
