Question 1

How does a WiFi QR code work?

Accepted Answer

A WiFi QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password and security type (WPA/WEP/None) into a special format. When a guest scans it with their phone camera, the phone prompts them to join your WiFi network automatically — no need to type a long password.

Question 2

Which phones can scan WiFi QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Most modern phones support WiFi QR codes natively: iPhone (iOS 11+), Android (most devices with Google Lens or native camera QR scanning), and many third-party QR scanner apps. The scanner reads the WIFI: URI scheme and offers a one-tap connect.

Question 3

Is it safe to share my WiFi via QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The QR code only contains your network name and password — it does not reveal your router admin settings. All generation happens locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded. For extra safety, use a guest network and rotate the password periodically.

Question 4

What WiFi security types are supported?

Accepted Answer

This generator supports WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (recommended), WEP (legacy, not recommended) and open networks (no password). For hidden networks, toggle the Hidden option so scanners know to search for the SSID.
