What a WiFi QR code stores
WiFi codes encode the WIFI: configuration string with SSID, security type, and password.
Cafés, offices, and rental properties print WiFi codes so guests join without typing long passwords.
Use WPA or WPA2 in the string; open networks omit the password field.
Tips for WiFi QR codes
- 1
Print a guest SSID separate from admin networks when possible.
- 2
Rotate passwords after events and replace the printed code.
- 3
Place codes where signal is already strong.
- 4
Hide admin credentials; post guest QR only in customer areas.
