1Password, the creator of one of our picks for the best password managers around right now, has made it easier than ever to share Wi-Fi passwords.
Wi-Fi passwords are often long, confusing, and difficult to remember, so having a method to share it quickly and easily can save time and frustration.
That's why 1Password have introduced Wi-Fi password sharing via QR code, so guests can log on in seconds.

To set up a QR code for the Wi-Fi, users simply need to fill out the “Network Name” and “Network Password” fields, and 1Password will generate a QR code to be scanned whenever someone needs access to the Wi-Fi.
For convenience, the QR code can automatically show up when the Wi-Fi details are accessed via 1Password, but this option can be turned off in Settings > Security > Concealed Fields. This will require users to tap a button to show the QR code when attempting to access the Wi-Fi.
“We’ve made it even easier to share your Wi-Fi credentials with nearby family and friends with a new improvement to the Wireless Router item in 1Password: automatic QR codes! Conveniently share your Wi-Fi network name and password via QR code with your nearby family and friends by having them scan the code – no links or extra taps needed,” says the 1Password team.
Recently, 1Password launched a every-device secure sign-in solution to give businesses the ability to manage sign-ins on every device registered to their organization quickly and securely.
