matilda-pro:~ atimberlake$ wifi-password

… getting password for "HOME-WIFI". … keychain prompt incoming. ERROR: Could not find SSID "HOME-WIFI"

What happened? Is there a verbose mode?

Authenticated via EAP-PEAP (MSCHAPv2)

Not sure for your exact case, but if you are using something like a WPA2 Enterprise network you will not be able to pull and SSID because it uses RADIUS authentication rather than the traditional single password authentication used by WPA2 Personal. For example I cannot get a password for the network at work because, well it doesn't have one.

Is your network HOME-WIFI configured with WPA2 or do you login with a password and username?

I think you're probably right — I login with both a password and username. WPA2 Enterprise Network is probably the issue here. Thanks.
