Share your Wi-Fi without spelling out the password
"What's the Wi-Fi password?" Then comes reading out a long, random string, mistyping it, and trying again. A Wi-Fi QR code fixes that: guests point their camera at it and their phone joins your network automatically.
How it works
The code stores your network details in the standard Wi-Fi format understood by iOS and Android:
WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyHomeWiFi;P:correct-horse-battery;;
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
T | Security type: WPA, WEP or nopass |
S | Network name (SSID) |
P | Password |
H:true | Hidden network (if enabled) |
Special characters such as ;, ,, : and " in your SSID or password are escaped automatically, which is a common reason other generators produce codes that don't connect.
Where to put it
- Homes: on the fridge or in the guest room.
- Cafés, restaurants and bars: table cards and counters.
- Hotels and Airbnbs: welcome cards and room info.
- Offices: meeting rooms and reception, ideally on a guest network.
- Events and co-working spaces.
Security tips
- Use a guest network for visitors so they can't reach your personal devices.
- Remember that the code reveals the password to anyone who scans or photographs it.
- Change the guest password periodically and print a new code.
- Use WPA2 or WPA3, never WEP, if your router supports it.

Create a strong Wi-Fi password first with the Password Generator (enable Exclude look-alikes so guests can still type it if needed).
