Download and extract the ZIP'd file, then double-click "run.bat" and a spreadsheet containing your passwords will be saved to "WiFi-Passwords.csv"
How is this done? If you want to know the technical commands, here is the Powershell command that uses Network Shall (netsh) to iterate through the WLAN (Wireless LAN) saved passwords:
(netsh wlan show profiles) | Select-String "\:(.+)$" | %{$name=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{(netsh wlan show profile name="$name" key=clear)} | Select-String "Key Content\W+\:(.+)$" | %{$pass=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{[PSCustomObject]@{ PROFILE_NAME=$name;PASSWORD=$pass }} | Format-Table -AutoSize
