Scan to join your WiFi, no typing
Enter your network name and password once, and anyone can join by scanning — no reading a password off a sticky note, letter by letter. Nothing you type here leaves your browser.

How it works
- Open WiFi settings on any device already connected to the network, and copy the network name (SSID) exactly — it's case-sensitive.
- Enter the password below. Nothing you type leaves this browser tab.
- Choose the security type. WPA/WPA2 covers almost every router made in the last decade; pick WEP only for very old hardware, or "Open" for a network with no password.
- Scan the preview yourself before printing or posting it anywhere, to confirm it actually connects.
Good to know
- Test with both an iPhone (built-in Camera app) and an Android phone before relying on it for guests — behavior can differ slightly between scanners.
- The SSID and password are matched exactly — a stray extra space or wrong capitalization is the most common reason a generated code fails to connect.
- For a network that will be visible to the public (a lobby, a cafe), consider using a dedicated guest network rather than your main one — the code makes the password trivial to capture from a photo.
- If you ever change the WiFi password, the old printed code stops working — generate and swap in a new one.
Questions
Is my WiFi password sent anywhere?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — your SSID and password never leave your device or touch a server.
Will this work with WPA3 networks?
Yes. Choose WPA/WPA2 — it's the security type most scanners expect, and it works for WPA3 networks in practice on virtually every phone.
What if my network is hidden?
Tick "Hidden network" — it tells scanning apps to actively search for the SSID instead of assuming it's broadcasting.
Can I print this and put it on the wall?
Yes — that's exactly what it's for. Download the SVG for a crisp print at any size, and consider changing your WiFi password if the sign will be visible to the public.
Do I need to change anything on my router?
No — this doesn't touch your router at all. It just packages your existing network name and password into a format scanning apps know how to read.
Why isn't my phone connecting after I scan it?
Almost always a mismatch: double-check the SSID is spelled and capitalized exactly right, and that you picked the correct security type — marking an open network as WPA (or the reverse) will make it fail.
Does this work for eduroam or enterprise WiFi (WPA2-Enterprise)?
No — the WiFi QR format only supports a shared network password, not username/certificate-based enterprise logins. Enterprise networks need to be joined manually.
