Secure Wi-Fi Sharing With Encrypted QR Codes
Security · 5 min read
A plain QR code can embed your network credentials in readable form. An encrypted QR code protects them — combining the convenience of a scan with real security.
Plain vs encrypted QR codes
- Plain QR: anyone who photographs it can extract the credentials.
- Encrypted QR (ShareWifi): the password is never exposed; guests connect through the app over a secure tunnel.
Extra layers of control
- Approve each device before it connects.
- Set time and data limits with auto-disconnect.
- Monitor connected users live.
The bottom line
Encrypted QR sharing is the safe default for any home or business. ShareWifi lets you share your connection with an encrypted QR code — guests scan and connect in one tap, and your password is never revealed.
