Use this To make QR codes for your house guests to scan with their cameras to easily sign in to the wifi! I printed mine off on a paper and hung it on the fridge

Or it would probably be easier to just use the wifi share dialog on your phone then take a screenshot and print that off instead

Or this one where you can turn your password into a QR code that’s hidden in art

How do I use that? I'm not technologically dumb but I'm not a genius at it either but I def want to do this.

I think you need to know the right text to make a WiFi code that phones pick up.

For a convoluted route....

  1. Sign in to the WiFi on a phone
  2. Share the WiFi qr code from your phone
  3. Get Binary Eye app on another phone
  4. Scan the WiFi qr code from the first phone with Binary Eye from the second
  5. See the text output!
  6. (For other WiFis) Customise the said (WiFi name) and password fields appropriately.
  7. Put that text in a qr code creator (like the one from the comment above)
  8. Use the resulting qr code.

Edit: to skip 1-5,

WIFI:S:((WiFi name));T:WPA;P:((password));H:false;;

Replace the "((WiFi name))" and "((password))" with the name and password

This is basically what I did, and yeah, I made my friends their own QR codes!!

For the non-tech people though the printed screenshot method works too and is much easier!

Thank you! The second one you showed seems easier I'll try that.

Or if you're on linux you can use QtQr as a native application.

I love typing my passwords into random websites with new TLDs

Good point ;-)

I imagine if you were a JavaScript expert you could verify if this one is just using the input in the browser or is sending any details back to the server.

Or just use qrencode from the CLI
