Check this list\n- ### Password not found:\n  - **Linux:**\n    - Make sure your network passwords are stored correctly in NetworkManager's storage directory. This is in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/. NetworkManager can work by checking if the passwords are stored with another program, but you need to store them in this directory for this program to work.\n  - **MacOS/Windows:**\n    - You probably have something broken with your WiFi storage. If not, submit an issue to this repository with information.\n---\n- ### NetworkManager isn't installed:\n  - This program ***does not work*** without NetworkManager on Linux. If you want to use this program, install it using your distributions package manager or software center. Not using NetworkManager is a strange decision, but that's an issue for another time.\n---\n- ### Have another issue?\n  - Open a useful issue on this GitHub, and/or suggest a new item in this list if you find a solution.\n\n---\n---\n## Reference\n- This project is an improvement of [wifi-password](https://github.com/rauchg/wifi-password) created by [@rauchg](https://github.com/rauchg), where I have added support for multiple platforms and have added the feature for generating QR codes.\n- [wifiPassword](https://github.com/ankitjain28may/wifiPassword) created by [@ankitjain28may](https://github.com/ankitjain28may) was frequently used as reference throughout the development of this project.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsdushantha%2Fwifi-password","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsdushantha%2Fwifi-password","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsdushantha%2Fwifi-password/lists"}
