What is a WiFi QR code?
A WiFi QR code stores your network name, password, and security type. Scanning it prompts the phone to join the network automatically, with no password typing.
It is the easiest way to share WiFi with guests. The login details sit inside the code, so people connect in a tap rather than reading out a long password.
What a WiFi QR code includes
- Network name (SSID)
- The exact network name, typed as it appears on the router.
- Password
- The WiFi password, which is stored inside the code.
- Security type
- Usually WPA or WPA2, or open for networks with no password.
