Method

QR Code

The QR code is the simplest and safest way to share Wi-Fi passwords. This technology works on both Android and iOS devices, allowing you to connect to the network without revealing the password. If you have Android 10 or newer, go to Settings and select Network and Internet. Then tap Internet and click the Settings icon next to the Wi-Fi network you are connected to. Select the Share option. You may need biometric authentication. A QR code will appear on the screen, which the other person can scan with their phone and connect to the network instantly.

Quick Share - Automatic Sharing

Android users can share passwords with the Quick Share feature. This feature is available in the same menu as Wi-Fi QR codes in Settings. iOS devices have automatic sharing feature. If you and your guest have Apple ID email, sharing passwords is very easy. When another Apple device tries to connect to the network, a pop-up notification appears on the phone, which allows sharing the password.

NFC Tags

NFC (Near Field Communication) NFC tags are a new way to share Wi-Fi passwords. These small, inexpensive tags can be purchased online and stuck to the router or other surface. For this, you will need an app on the phone like NFC Tag Writer (Android) or NFC Tools (iOS). Program the Wi-Fi name, password and encryption type into the tag. Stick the tag to the router.

Take care of security

Avoid sending passwords through insecure methods like email or text messages, as these can be easily intercepted by hackers. Also use WPA 2 or WPA 3 encryption on your router. Change passwords regularly. If you frequently share passwords, consider setting up a guest network on the router, which keeps the main network secure.
