WiFi QR Code: Share Your Password Without Sharing Your Password
Stop writing your WiFi password on a card, repeating it to every customer, or letting it circulate on sticky notes. A WiFi QR code lets guests connect with one scan — no typing, no asking staff, no errors.
How WiFi QR codes work
A WiFi QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type (WPA2, WPA, or open) using the WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;; format defined in the QR code specification.
When a guest scans the code with their phone camera, iOS and Android both recognize the WiFi format and prompt the user to join the network automatically. No third-party app is required — the native camera handles it on iOS 11+ and Android 10+.
