Recover WPA Key from Keychain

Today I had the need to discover what the WPA key was that I had entered into my OSX keychain. Here were the steps:

1. Applications
2. Utilities
3. Keychain Access
4. System (top left; defaults to login)
5. Found the SSID of key that I was trying to recover and double-click
6. Select the Show Password checkbox
7. Enter your admin password.

Enjoy.
