WiFi Card

I like the interface and that it doesn't need a server to generate the QR image, but it doesn't work for my network ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: perhaps I should clarify that that's my…

This is convenient and easy to use. It would be nice to be able to print multiple access points with one print.

This is incredibly useful, I didn't know our phones had this feature.

Woah, do not get into the habit of putting your wifi network password into a website if you care about security. This particular site might or might not collect it now but it's a…

True. How else would one implement this as a workaround for security? Perhaps a locally running version of the same thing that hopefully doesn't upload the data back to some…

Hah, I noticed the lack of escaping when skimming the code (see my comment—workaround until fixed will be for you to double the backslash yourself) but didn’t expect it to…

Per https://github.com/bndw/wifi-card/blob/5d7fbbda1e8eac5802c8d7b4a9644e8f37a4e041/src/components/Card.js#L22, the QR code text is of this form: ```…

Another fun bug report: I entered lots of input, and the page suddenly went blank. In the console: ``` Error: code length overflow. (28252>23648) ``` So yeah, seems like all you…

FYI, maxlength is actually not enough to protect against people like me that are determined to break things for fun: Firefox 77 starts letting you exceed maxlength if pasting…

You can use `qrencode` on your local machine. https://github.com/fukuchi/libqrencode

Can someone give a short explaination as to how it works in the backend? The QR code contains username and password. But how does my phone's QR scanner know that its an SSID/pw…

Yes I saw, that is what the QR code contains (username and password of the WIFI). But I do not understand what my phone does when it sees that. There are tons of dubmbed-down…

Do all Android and iOS devices support this feature?

Might be a dumb question but how do you scan a QR code like this on Android without a 3rd party app? The only way I've ever known to scan QR codes is by scanning from within…

I just did this the other day using the newest version (6.4.4) of LibreOffice Writer. It has a QR Code generator built in. As mentioned by someone else it uses the form of: ```…

qrencode is in debian/ubuntu (https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/) ``` qrencode -t ansiutf8 'WIFI:T:WPA;S:{ssid};P:{password};;' ``` No docker required ...

You can generate QR codes using qrencode (available in most distros package repos), as follows: qrencode -o wifi.png "WIFI:T:WPA;S:<SSID>;P:<PASSWORD>;;"

Even my Mum's old Moto G4 has this feature in the Camera. I've been using a shell alias to call `qrencode` with the appropriate details for a few years now.

Neat. I investigated doing something like this a few weeks ago, but it turned out there's a site that has a variety of QR code tools: https://www.qr-code-generator.com/ (not…

Recently came across a QR Coder [1] that can generate for a variety of different purposes, including Wifi (e.g., Bookmarks, Email, Contact, GeoLocation, SMS, URL link, etc.) -…

This should be a feature of password managers, or at least password managers that have a separate item type for wireless networks. Someone suggested it on the 1Password forums…
