Wi-Fi QR Code Payloads
A Wi-Fi QR code lets a phone join a network by scanning instead of typing a password. It uses a specific text format.
The payload format
Wi-Fi QR codes encode a string like WIFI:S:<ssid>;T:<security>;P:<password>;; — the SSID, the security type (such as WPA) and the password. Encode that string and most phones offer to join on scan.
Generate and test
Build the payload, generate the code, and scan it with a phone to confirm it connects. Mind special characters in the password, which may need escaping.
