How to Share WiFi Password Using QR Code
The Easiest Way to Share WiFi Access
We've all been there: a guest asks for the WiFi password, and you end up spelling out a complex string of characters. With a WiFi QR code, anyone can connect to your network by simply scanning with their phone camera.
QR Code Pro makes creating WiFi QR codes quick and easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WiFi QR code store my password securely?
The password is encoded directly in the QR code data. QR Code Pro does not store your WiFi password on any server. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser.
Will it work on both Android and iPhone?
Yes. Modern Android phones (Android 10+) and iPhones (iOS 11+) can scan WiFi QR codes directly from the camera app and auto-connect to the network.
What if my WiFi password has special characters?
QR Code Pro handles special characters correctly using the standard WiFi QR code format (WIFI:T:WPA;S:SSID;P:password;;). All special characters are properly escaped.
Can I create a QR code for a hidden network?
Yes. Toggle the 'Hidden Network' option when creating your WiFi QR code. The QR code will include the hidden flag so phones know to look for the network.
