Print off a QR code for guests to join your WiFi network

The time spent explaining to guests your WiFi password is not time well spent. Depending on your WiFi name and password, it can also be a surprisingly long time — time that could be spent bemoaning your existence over a cup of tea.

What's more, unforseen events may arise that require WiFi access without delay:

• You've fallen unconscious and a guest needs to google the recovery position
• A time sensitive logistical issue must be resolved before your guests can relax
• A guest you'd rather not talk to requires distraction

You can increase the speed and ease of logging a new device onto your WiFi network by printing off WiFi login QR code.

Should you trust this tool with your WiFi password?

Of course not! You shouldn't trust anything on the internet ever — but if it makes you feel better, I promise none of the information you enter on this page is saved anywhere.

How to use a WiFi login QR code

If you have an Android or iOS device you can open your camera app and point it at the QR code — an option will appear to login to the WiFi network.
