Frequently asked questions
How does a Wi-Fi QR code work?
The code holds your network name, password and security type. When a guest scans it with the phone camera, the phone offers to join the network without typing the password.
Is it safe?
The password is stored inside the code, so anyone who scans it can join. Share it only where you would be happy to share the password, and change it if the code gets out.
Which security type should I pick?
WPA, which covers WPA2 and WPA3, suits almost every network. Choose No password only for an open network.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both open their camera apps and offer to join. Very old phones may need a scanner app.
Is my password uploaded?
No. Everything is made in your browser, so what you type never leaves your device.
