No more looking for the scrap of paper with your Wi-Fi password. And no more mistyping the password. In Android Q from Google, you'll be able to generate a QR code with the credentials to your Wi-Fi network that guests can scan with their phone's camera to log on.[br]You could find third-party apps to do this in Android phones, but it required a bit of setup. In Android Q, you just tap a button to generate a code to share. And it's based on the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi Easy Connect standard for sharing network credentials with a QR code.[br][br]Android Q will also let you add devices to a network you manage via a QR code on a sticker or display. The device needs to support the Easy Connect Wi-Fi standard for this to work.[br]To create a QR code for a Wi-Fi network[br][br]In Android Q, you can share your Wi-Fi credentials via a QR code.[br]Head to Settings, then Network & internet, then your Wi-Fi network and tap the gear to the right of your network.[br][br]In the Network details window, tap the blue Share button on the right.[br][br]Enter your passcode to generate a QR code with the Wi-Fi name and password.[br][br]There doesn't seem to be a way to save the QR code, so you'll need to regenerate it each time you use it.[br]To scan a QR code to join a network[br][br]On Android, you can choose Add network at the bottom of Wi-Fi settings to scan a QR code. What's easier, however, the Camera app can scan QR codes once you turn on Lens:[br]Open Android's Camera app. [br][br]If you've not used Lens yet, in the camera settings that run across the bottom, tap More. [br][br]Tap Lens, and then tap Turn on camera to use Lens. [br][br]Now, position the Camera viewfinder over the QR code and tap the code. • [br][br]When the name of the network appears below the QR code, tap it to join the Wi-FI network.
