- How do I make a QR code for my WiFi password?
- Enter your network name (SSID), password, and security type in the generator above — it builds the standard WIFI: payload and renders the QR code, which you can download as PNG or SVG and print. The whole process runs in your browser, so the password is never transmitted.
- Does it work with WPA3?
- Yes — select WPA in the generator. The WIFI: format's WPA type covers WPA, WPA2, and WPA3-Personal; phones negotiate the strongest security the router offers when they connect. WEP exists for legacy networks, and 'no password' for open ones.
- Can people see my password from the QR code?
- Yes — the password is encoded in the QR payload in plain text, and any QR reader app can display it (that's how the phone joins the network). A WiFi QR code is a convenience for sharing a password, not a way to keep it secret. Use a guest network if you want to share access without exposing your main credentials.
- Does the QR code stop working if I change my password?
- Immediately — the code is a snapshot of the SSID + password at generation time. Change either and you need a new code. Nothing expires otherwise: a printed WiFi QR works for years as long as the credentials stay the same.
- How do I share WiFi for a hidden network?
- Enable the 'hidden network' option before generating — it sets the H:true flag so phones know to probe for the SSID instead of waiting to see it broadcast. Note that hidden SSIDs add no real security (the name is visible to anyone with a WiFi sniffer) while making connections flakier; a strong password matters far more.
- Is it safe to generate a WiFi QR code online?
- Only if the generation is client-side. This tool builds the code in your browser with JavaScript — your credentials never reach a server, which you can verify by loading the page and then going offline before generating. Avoid generators that create the image server-side; they receive your password by design.
