WiFi Security Types Explained

Choose the right security type for your network:

  • WPA/WPA2 — Most common for home networks. Use this if unsure.

You can check your router settings or ask your network administrator if you're unsure which type your network uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to share WiFi via QR code? ▼
Yes, the QR code only contains your network name and password — the same information you'd share verbally. The code doesn't give access to your files or devices, just internet access.
Will the QR code work on all phones? ▼
Most modern smartphones (iPhone and Android) can scan QR codes directly from the camera app and connect to WiFi automatically. Some older devices may need a QR scanner app.
Can I change my WiFi password after creating the QR code? ▼
If you change your WiFi password, you'll need to generate a new QR code. The old code will no longer work because it contains the old password.
Does the QR code expire? ▼
No, WiFi QR codes generated by this tool never expire. They work as long as your network name and password remain the same.
