Sharing Business WiFi Passwords Doesn’t Have to Be Hard, Use QR Codes Like This

Unlike public WiFi access points in airports and coffee shops, work and home, private WiFi networks are protected by a passcode. To connect to these networks, you’ll have to provide the required passcode, and only then, you can gain access and browse to your heart’s content.

The same is applicable for WiFi hotspots created through the use of an Android device. As good as this password protection is, it can quickly get more tedious if the code is alphanumeric, long and complex. A QR code may come in handy in such a situation.

WiFiKeyShare

This app lets you share your WiFi passcode by writing it on an NFC tag or through the generation of a QR code.

Most of the barcode scanner applications will recognize the QR code, and the NFC tag is made in the same way as  that of Android since the introduction of its “write to NFC tag” feature on Lollipop.

How to use:

• Install the application on your phone and open it. You will see a list of available WiFi networks on the home screen. Select your network from the list.
• Enter your WiFi password and select “OK.” The QR code will be generated.
• If you want to create an NFC tag, go to the NFC tab and click on the “Write to Tag” button. The tag will be created in less than a second.

• Choose any one of them.
• Select your network name from the list of available networks.
• Select the network authentication type and enter your password. The QR code will be generated instantly.
