Writing down the WiFi password present in an iPhone can be time-saving and less stressful especially while configuring a new device or when sharing the password with your friend. I am glad to point out that sharing passwords in iOS is painless but most people cannot tell how to go about it. In this guide, I will explain to you how to share your WiFi with others especially using a WiFi password QR code besides the regular methods of sharing the password.
1. Use a QR code to share the WiFi password
Using a Quick Response code to pass your WiFi information is quite effective. What makes this approach even more beneficial is the fact it saves you the ‘nonsense’ of typing in the password and also empowers people to connect to your network.
Step 1: Get to know the option of sharing a password
First of all, you need to go to the iPhone’s Settings. Press the tap on the “Personal Hotspot” button that is located near the top of the displayed list. You will here get an option that reads “Share Your Password.” To show the WiFi info you need to tap on this option and the app will show a QR code with all your WiFi settings.
Step 2: Scan the QR Code
After creating the QR code you get, you should give this code to the person you want to connect to your WiFi network. Ensure that they scan the QR code by taking a picture on their iPhone camera by focusing the phone’s camera on the code. The camera will automatically scan the code, and the iPhone will try to join the WiFi network of your house.
Step 3: Verify the Connection
The person holding the camera capturing the QR code should receive a notification like this ‘Please enter the WiFi password to finish the connection’. In this case, they should type the password that is found on the screen to ensure that they are connected. The next step should be for their device to automatically connect to your WiFi network after entering this password.
2. Transfer the WiFi password through the regular way
The most common way to share your WiFi password has always been through passing the password in a message or through an email. This process however is helpful, especially where the partner in sharing the password does not possess a QR code scanner.
Step 1: Locate the WiFi Password
First of all, open the Settings of your iPhone and find the option called “Personal Hotspot”. After that, under More, tap on “Share Your Password” to share the WiFi password. This alphanumeric code will be on the screen long enough to allow the healthcare provider, or one of their subordinates, to read it in its entirety. Make sure you have written material with you on which to write the password.
Step 2: Send the WiFi Password
Once you have the password, you can send it through the mail, via SMS or through an application such as WhatsApp, for instance, you just open a new message box and input the password box. It is also important that the right recipient of the message gets it and that before sending the password, attention has to be paid to it.
Step 3: Request Connection
After the recipient provides you with the WiFi password, kindly request them to open the iPhone settings, and then choose the “WiFi” option. It should load some networks list and your network should be among them. Ask them to click on Your network name and type the password that you have given to them. After the user sends the password their iPhone should be able to synchronize with your preferred WiFi network.
Conclusion:
Telling others your WiFi password from your iPhone is an excellent and handy way to let other devices connect to your network. Both approaches when used- either using the QR codes or the routine methods, do not pose any difficulty. By following these few steps, you can easily share your WiFi password and make sure all your connected devices are happy and connected to the internet.
