The use of the fixed network is complicated when we have to use the complicated and long WiFi passwords of our WiFi router, although luckily in Android we have options that allow us to facilitate this process to a simple QR code to share the WiFi key. We can forget the password if someone has to use their mobile with our WiFi, a process that becomes very simple.
Little by little all the manufacturers have been installing this option that in Android 10 comes by default, allowing that in practically any mobile we can use it. We will teach you how to use it both on Android, and on other leading manufacturers such as Samsung along with its One UI personalization layer, Xiaomi phones with MIUI and Huawei can not miss with EMUI.
How to share the WiFi key on Android phones
For users who have a mobile phone with Android Stock, the method is very simple and also similar to that of other manufacturers. We will only have to access the Settings> Networks and internet> WiFi section, and then select our WiFi network.
Once we have chosen it, we will access your data and a button will appear indicating the option to share. After tapping on it and passing a security measure to make sure it’s us, it will show us the QR code on the screen.
Share WiFi password on Xiaomi
Xiaomi phones with MIUI also make it much easier for us to share the password of our Wi-Fi. First of all we go to Settings> Networks and Internet> Wi-Fi and tap on our network so that the QR code appears on the screen that will facilitate access to our friends or family.
Our friends only have to open the camera app on their mobile if it has smart features or use the Google assistant to use Google Lens and scan the code. They will automatically connect to the WiFi afterwards without having to do anything else.
Steps to share WiFi on Samsung
In the One UI customization layer the process could not be easier, without options or intermediate steps we go to Settings> WiFi and tap on the network to which we are connected. Immediately the QR code will appear on the screen that we will show our friends so they can connect to our WiFi.
How to share WiFi with QR code on Huawei
On the other hand, we find Huawei mobiles with EMUI in any of its versions. To access the function that allows us to show the password in QR code format, we will only go to Settings> WiFi and select our network. Once the code appears on the screen, it is the turn of our friend or family member who wants to connect.
With your Huawei mobile you will have to use the mobile’s camera with HiVision or Celia if you already have it available to connect in just a few seconds. On other mobiles you can use Google Lens as an alternative.
