How does a WiFi QR code work?

A WiFi QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password, and security type into a single scannable string using the WIFI: URI scheme. Modern iPhones (camera app) and Android devices (Google Lens or built-in QR scanners) recognize this format and prompt the user to join the network with one tap — no typing a 16-character password into a phone keyboard. The encoding is computed locally on your device, so your WiFi password is never transmitted to any server.

About the WiFi QR format

WiFi QR codes use the WIFI: URI scheme defined informally by the QR community and supported by every major mobile OS.
  • Format: WIFI:T:WPA2;S:NetworkName;P:Password;H:false;;
  • T = encryption (WPA, WPA2, WPA3, or nopass)
  • S = SSID (network name)
  • P = password (plaintext — not encrypted)
  • H = hidden SSID flag (true / false)

Frequently asked questions

Can someone read my password from the QR code?
Yes, in plaintext. The WiFi QR encoding is not encrypted — anyone who scans the QR with a generic QR reader can see the password. That's a feature (it's how phones join the network), but treat the QR like the password itself: don't post it publicly if you don't want random people on your WiFi.
