How
to share WiFi without sharing password
It is obvious that you should not share
your WiFi passwords with anyone, including your family members. If you do,
your key could end up being shared to people you don’t want. Your network
could be vulnerable to threats if you share passwords with people that you
don't know.
What do you do if you need to share
your internet but not the router's key? We have a simple guide on how to
share your WiFi without sharing the router's actual key.
Use
WiFi to Share without Sharing Password
Use
QR codes
Many websites and applications allow
you to share WiFi passwords using QR codes. Some phones have this feature
built in. This allows you to share the QR code with guests and allow them to
connect to the network using the device's scanner.
Before you install third-party apps on
your phone, check that this feature is enabled. It's currently available
on all Android 10 phones, followed by Samsung OneUI devices.
Go to the WiFi settings and tap the
WiFi network to which you are connected. Then click the share button. The
QR code will be displayed to scan to share the internet to other people.
If you don't have Share WiFi, you can
download and install apps like WiFi Code Generator and WiFiKeyShare from the Google Play
Store. These apps can help you convert your network password into a QR
Code that can be used to scan another phone with most QR Code scanner applications.
Additionally, you can also use sites
like Qifi (https://qifi.org)
and XZing QR Generator (http://zxing.appspot.com/generator) to
create codes online, on any device. This is the easiest and most
hassle-free way to share WiFi, without having to share passwords.
NFC
Tags
You can also use NFC tags and stickers
to share your WiFi passwords, as an alternative to QR codes. These are often
available at a very low price in the market.
Get an NFC sticker to start with. Next, download and open the WiFiKeyShare application. Go to the
NFC section. You can now bring the tag to your phone, and then click on
Write to Tag. The list of WiFi networks that you are connected to will
appear. Choose the one that you wish to share and wait for the tag to
create information.
Once you're done, place the tag in a
convenient location for others to scan it and connect to your network. It
will prompt you to connect as soon as your phone is within 10 cm of the
tag. You don't have to download any third-party apps for it.
Important Note To scan the tag, the guest's phone must have the
Near Field Communication feature (NFC) turned on. This is required on the
phone that you will use to write the tag. Although sharing WiFi passwords
via NFC tags can be easier than QR codes and is more convenient than using QR
codes, not all phones have the NFC hardware required, particularly mid-range
ones.
iOS
You don't have to do any of these tricks
if you are using an iPhone. You can instead use iOS' built in feature to
share WiFi passwords between nearby iPhone, iPad, or Mac users.
Before you start, ensure that both
Bluetooth and WiFi are on the phones. Also, ensure that your Apple ID has been
added to the Contacts app of the other person. When the phones are
sufficiently close, you will see a Share Password popup on your phone. You
can simply click Share, to get started.
You can share your internet with even if the other person doesn't have an Apple
device. You will need to install the Shortcuts application on your iPhone.
After installation, you can use
this ICloud link to access the Make HTML3_
Wifi QR code HTML3_ option in the app. To get the QR code, tap the option
and enter your network's name and password. To scan the QR code and
connect to the WiFi network, you can use the scanner on another phone.
Wrapping
up
This article was about sharing your
WiFi network with no password, whether you are using iOS or
Android. However, you should always use strong passwords and additional
encryption to protect your network. Keep an eye out for potential
intruders and turn off your router when it is not in use. This will
protect your network from unauthorized access. Have a great day.
