Convenient way to share WiFi passwords: say goodbye to the tedious password sharing!
Are you still worried about sharing your WiFi password? Rather than dictating a long list of complex passwords effortlessly, try these more convenient methods! The following tips will help you easily share WiFi while ensuring your home network security. If you often need to share WiFi, it is recommended that you set up a guest network so that visitors can access the Internet safely while protecting your home network.
Share WiFi password on Android devices
Android system supports sharing WiFi passwords through scannable QR codes, saying goodbye to the hassle of manual input.
- Unlock the phone and open the Quick Settings Menu (swipe two fingers down from the top of the screen).
- Long press the Internet option to open the menu, and then click the gear icon next to the WiFi network you are connected to.
- Click Share.
- The cell phone will ask you to verify your identity using a biometric or password. After verification, the system will generate a QR code containing your home network information.
People with iOS 11 or higher can use their own camera app to scan the QR code and join the network immediately.
Share WiFi passwords between Apple devices is easier, provided you have completed some presets. Specifically, both parties need to save the email address associated with Apple ID in the other party's address book and need to log in to iCloud. To make WiFi sharing function work properly, both devices also need to turn on WiFi and Bluetooth and turn off personal hotspots.
Unlock the device that shares the password. Have your friends click on the network on their device. A prompt should pop up on the connected device - click to share your password , and then click to finish .
You need equipment close to each other and the process may be a bit unstable, but it is worth a try. If the prompt does not appear, you can always create a dedicated WiFi QR code.
If the above method is invalid, please generate your own network QR code
If the above method doesn't work, or you have a lot of visitors and don't want to share your password with everyone, you can print (or embroider if you have enough patience) a QR code they can scan. There are many tools to help you with this task, and I recommend QiFi.org. It's very simple and easy to use:
QiFi can do heavy work offline, so you don't need to worry about giving WiFi information to random websites.
Ideally, you do not want to connect your visitors to your main WiFi network. This will give their laptop or phone access to all devices in your home, meaning that they (or any malware installed on their systems) can endanger your data. You can avoid this by creating a guest network, as we mentioned above. This feature is built into most routers.
1. Access the router's administration page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. This is a private IP address that some Internet service providers use as a gateway to access router settings. If this address is invalid for you, you can try another number. You can also view the label at the bottom of the router or find its user manual.
2. Find an option named Guest Network in settings and set it with a WPA2 password (if you can).
3. Assign your visitor network an easy-to-remember name and a relatively easy-to-remember password. Note that simple passwords are less secure in themselves, but for this particular use case, I think the popular "four random words" approach is safe enough. You can use a generator like Correct Horse Battery Staple to generate a password for you. This way, you can easily remember your password and your grandma will not encounter any problems when visiting.
