Look at the wireless tools at nirsoft.net. Not web-based, but they are
portable in that you can carry them on a USB stick or download them, unZIP
them, and run them without admin privs.
I use "WirelessKeyView: Recover lost WEP/WPA key stored by Wireless Zero
Configuration service" when I'm working on client laptops.

"WirelessNetView - Monitor wireless networks on your area" is also very useful
when scanning an area for WLANs.
