In 2023, one of the first things a guest to your home may want is access to your wireless network. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Now, if you’ve properly secured your Wi-Fi network<\/a> with a strong password, something with a randomization of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters, it may be inconvenient to recite it when asked.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if your password is simple, “Oh it’s just my telephone number,” for example, you’ll have no problem sharing your Wi-Fi — with your invited guests or anyone else who may want to access your network. If that’s you, go change your Wi-Fi password<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sharing your network credentials, even if they’re appropriately complicated, is easy. Here’s how to do it with the push of a button.<\/p>\n

How to share your Wi-Fi password on Apple devices<\/h2>\n

As long as you’ve got the latest operating system<\/a>, Apple devices play quite nicely with one another, and it’s simple to share your Wi-Fi password with other Apple devices using your iPhone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Note: Your guest will need to have the email address associated with your Apple ID saved in their contacts, and you will need theirs saved in yours, to share your Wi-Fi password.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Ensure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on both devices<\/strong>. Keep the devices close while connecting, within 10 feet or so of each other, and close enough to your router to get a strong signal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Connect your device to the Wi-Fi network you want to share. <\/strong>You’re likely already connected to your primary home network. But if you’re having visitors use a guest network, you’ll need to connect your device to that network. (Having visitors use a guest network is a good idea; here’s how to create one.<\/a>)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Have your guest find your network on their device.<\/strong> They’ll need to go to Settings Wi-Fi<\/strong> and tap on the network. Pro tip: This is the moment of payoff if you have a silly or witty Wi-Fi network name.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Accept the prompt on your phone.<\/strong> A message will pop up on your iPhone asking if you want to share your password. Tap the Share Password<\/strong> button to accept, then Done<\/strong>. Your guest’s device is now connected to your network.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If your visitor has an Android device, or if their iPhone isn’t in your contacts, there’s an alternative method: You can create a QR code.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Open the app and navigate to Shortcuts for Accessibility<\/strong>. Scroll to and tap QR Your WiFi<\/strong>, then tap Add Shortcut<\/strong>. Next, go to My Shortcuts<\/strong> and tap QR Your WiFi<\/strong>. Enter your Wi-Fi name followed by the password and tap Done<\/strong>. The app will create a QR code for your guests to scan from their device.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    If you’re hosting many people and don’t want to whip out your phone every time someone wants to hop on your Wi-Fi network, print out the QR code and place it somewhere visible. Your guests will be able to scan it and connect at their convenience.<\/p>\n

    How to share your Wi-Fi password on Android devices<\/h2>\n

    Android and Apple devices don’t play as well together, but you can still share your Wi-Fi password using an Android device via a QR code.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Tap the QR code icon at the bottom left, or use Quick Share to send your Wi-Fi info to compatible devices.<\/p>\n

    To create a QR code for your Wi-Fi on Android devices:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Go to Settings<\/strong>, then tap Connections <\/strong>(or Network<\/strong>, depending on your specific device).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Tap Wi-Fi <\/strong>and confirm you are connected to the correct network.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Tap the Settings Cog<\/strong> to the right of the network name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Tap QR code<\/strong> in the bottom left of your screen.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      Share or save the image.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you’re sharing between Android devices, you can also use the Quick Share feature. Follow the first three steps above, then tap Quick Share<\/strong>. Your device will scan for compatible devices nearby. Make sure your guest has Quick Share enabled on their phone. Tap on their device name to share your Wi-Fi password.<\/p>\n

      From the Quick Share screen, you can also create a link or QR code to share your Wi-Fi password with others.<\/p>\n
