Stop Typing Wi-Fi Passwords—Just Use a QR Code

Did everyone else already know how convenient this is? Because it’s seriously so useful.

Sharing a Wi-Fi password should be simple, but somehow it always turns into reading out a long mix of letters, numbers, and symbols while someone types it in. Then one character is wrong, and you have to start over.

A Wi-Fi QR code makes the whole thing much easier.

Just enter the Wi-Fi name and password in QR Code Studio, and it creates a QR code that people can scan with their phones. No typing, no spelling out the password, and no trying to remember which letters are uppercase.

It’s especially useful at home, in an office, a studio, a small shop, or anywhere guests regularly ask for the Wi-Fi password. You can even print the code and leave it somewhere easy to find.

QR codes are useful for more than Wi-Fi, too. You can create one that opens a website, an app download page, an online menu, a product page, contact information, or pretty much any link you want to share.

There’s no account to create, and the QR code is generated directly in your browser. Information like your Wi-Fi password doesn’t need to be uploaded to a server just to make the code.

It’s a small thing, but once you start using it, it saves a surprising amount of hassle.

The next time someone asks for the Wi-Fi password, just let them scan it.
