How to do it, step by step
- Type the exact network name (SSID) and the password.
- Choose the Security (WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP or open network) and tick whether the network is hidden.
- Customize the code and test it with your phone.
- Download and print to leave in sight.
When this is useful
Café, restaurant and shop
A poster on the table or counter avoids questions about the password.
Short-term rentals
The guest connects as soon as they arrive, without asking the host for the password.
Home with visitors and office
Stick the code on the fridge or in the meeting room and skip dictating the password.
Tips for a good result
- Type the network name exactly as it appears on the phone, with upper and lower case.
- For a guest network, create a separate network: that way you do not expose the main password.
- Print at a size readable from 20 cm away and test before sticking it up.
What this tool does not do
- Whoever sees the code can photograph it and get access to the network: use a guest network and change the password when needed.
- Very old phones may not connect directly from the camera.
- If you change the password or the network name, the printed code stops working and must be redone.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Wi-Fi password sent to any server?
- No. The code is built in your browser, and the password never leaves the device.
- Which security should I choose?
- On most home networks it is WPA/WPA2/WPA3. Use WEP only if the router is very old and “open network” if there is no password.
- Does it work for a hidden network?
- Yes, tick the hidden network option when generating.
