WiFi QR Code for Guests: Share Your Password Without Saying It

Guests arrive. "What's the WiFi password?" You spell it out. They mistype. In 2026, this dance is unnecessary. A WiFi QR code lets visitors scan once and connect automatically — no typing, no "was that a zero or an O?"

How WiFi QR codes work

A WiFi QR code encodes a special string: WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;. When a phone scans this code, the camera app offers to join the network. On iPhone (iOS 11+) and Android (10+), the native camera does this.

Step-by-step: create your WiFi QR

  1. Open the QR code generator and select "WiFi Network".
  2. Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears — case-sensitive.
  3. Select your security type: WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP, or "No Password".
  4. Enter the password exactly as configured on your router.
  5. Download and print. A 4–5 cm QR on a card is enough for close-range scanning.
