What Wi-Fi QR Generator can do

What goes inside the code

A standard Wi-Fi payload (WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:yourpassword;H:false;;) in the format iOS and Android cameras have understood for years. Characters that would break that format in your password (backslash, semicolon, quote, colon) are escaped automatically, so a password like my;pass"word still scans.

A card by the door, not a poster on the street

The classic use is a small printed card taped inside the front door of a flat, a café table, or a workshop, so nobody has to spell out a 20-character password. Remember what that card is: your password, readable by anyone who can photograph it. For anything semi-public, put guests on the guest network of your router and make the QR from that.

Where it will not work

Enterprise Wi-Fi with a username and certificate, the kind universities and offices use, has no place in this format. Hidden networks are out too: the code always says H:false, so a phone will not look for a network that is not broadcasting.

Questions

Which encryption types are supported?

WPA/WPA2, WEP, and open networks with no password. There is no separate WPA3 option: pick WPA/WPA2, and scan the code with one phone before you print. A router set to WPA3 only may refuse it.

Does the password leave my device?

No. Generation happens locally in your browser.

I changed the Wi-Fi password. Does the old QR still work?

No. The password is baked into the image, not fetched from anywhere. Generate a new code and replace the printed one.
