How to use your WiFi QR code

  1. Print or display it: Download the QR image and print it, or keep it open on a tablet. A laminated card near your router is the most common setup for homes and Airbnbs.
  2. Guests open their camera app: On iPhone (iOS 11+) or Android (10+), point the default camera app at the QR code — no separate app needed.
  3. Tap the notification: A banner appears offering to join the network. Tap it. The phone connects immediately without typing anything.
  4. Done: The connection is saved to the device. Future visits connect automatically if the network is in range.

Is a WiFi QR code safe?

A WiFi QR code encodes your network credentials as plain text in the WIFI: URI format. This means anyone who scans it can join your network — which is exactly the point for guest access. For your main private network, consider creating a separate guest network on your router and generating the QR code for that network only. Most modern routers support a guest WiFi that isolates guests from your main LAN and connected devices.

On the generation side: PassFortify builds the QR code entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your SSID and password are never sent to any server — the generation happens locally, the same way a native app would do it. Avoid online QR generators that process inputs server-side, as your credentials would pass through their infrastructure.

What phones can scan WiFi QR codes?

WiFi QR code format explained

WiFi QR codes use the WIFI: URI scheme defined in the ZXing (Zebra Crossing) open-source library, which became the industry standard for WiFi QR encoding:

Example: WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:hunter2;H:false;;

The double semicolon ;; at the end terminates the record. The format is supported natively by iOS, Android, and Windows 11 camera apps without any additional software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enter your network name (SSID), password, and security type (WPA/WPA2 for most modern routers) into the form above, then click Generate. A QR code appears immediately. Download it as a PNG to print, or display it on screen. Any smartphone camera can scan it to join the network without typing the password.

With PassFortify, yes — your SSID and password are processed only in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted to any server. The QR image is generated locally using the qrcode.js library. Avoid generators that send your credentials to a remote API; your WiFi password would then be exposed in their server logs.

Choose WPA / WPA2 for almost all home and office routers — it's been standard since 2003. WEP is a legacy option for very old routers (avoid if possible — it's crackable in minutes with widely available tools). If your network has no password (open/public), choose None. Check your router's admin page (usually 192.168.1.1) if you're unsure which security type your router uses.

Yes. iPhone (iOS 11 and later) and Android (10 and later) camera apps natively recognize the WIFI: QR format. Just open the camera, point it at the code, and tap the "Join network" notification. No separate QR scanning app is needed. Older Android versions may need Google Lens, which is available free on the Play Store.

Yes — for security, generate the QR code for a dedicated guest network rather than your main network. Most modern routers support a separate guest WiFi that limits guest devices to internet access only, preventing access to your NAS, smart home devices, and other LAN resources. Check your router's settings under "Guest Network" or "Guest WiFi." Once set up, generate a QR code for the guest SSID, not your primary one.
