Connecting to a wireless network is very common today. There are many devices that are part of our day to day and that we can connect to the network in this way. Now, the normal thing is that we have to put a password to access it. In this article we are going to explain how we can easily create a QR code to share the Wi-Fi key .
Share Wi-Fi password by QR
If we do things right, the Wi-Fi password must be long and complex enough so that potential intruders do not enter the network. This means that we will have to generate a key that has letters (upper and lower case), numbers and other special symbols. All this also in a random way. We already saw some tips for creating a password for Wi-Fi.
This might seem like a simple thing to create, but I don’t have to remember. In fact, for a password to be considered secure it must be difficult to memorize. How do we share the password with other users, for example guests we have at home? We would need to access the router and see the password we have created. So constantly. Another option is to have it written down somewhere.
However, a very interesting alternative that we can also see in many places such as restaurants and stores is to have a QR code . In this way, simply by using our mobile we can know what the password is and even connect automatically. For this we can easily create it.
Create QR code to have the Wi-Fi key
There are free tools that we can use to create our QR codes and store the Wi-Fi key there. It should also be noted that many mobile devices when trying to connect to a wireless network allow you to simply scan a QR code, to save time in this way.
One of these tools that we can use is QiFi . Its mission is to easily create a QR code to show the password of a Wi-Fi network. It has different sections that we must fill in to generate it correctly.
The first section we see is the name of the network or SSID. There we will have to put exactly the name of our Wi-Fi, to avoid problems if someone is going to connect automatically from the mobile in case of having this possibility.
We will also see the section on the encryption of the network password . As we know there are different encryption and not all Wi-Fi networks have the same, although the normal thing today is that it is WPA2. We select the one that corresponds.
Finally, the third section is to put the password . We have to write the key as we have configured it in the router. Later we simply have to click Generate and it will generate the QR code.
From this moment on we will have created our QR code to share the Wi-Fi password with other users. We will also see different buttons to print or export that code that we have generated. It is very useful if, for example, we have a restaurant, shop or any place where many users are going to connect and we want to print it to place it on the walls. Also in our own home we can have that code created or even share it through messaging applications.
