QR codes have become quite popular in many areas of our lives. From making payments to accessing information about a place we've visited; these codes offer a convenient way to get data on our smartphones. One common and useful application of QR codes is for Wi-Fi passwords.
While some older smartphones might lack the ability to share Wi-Fi passwords via QR codes, most newer devices come with this feature.
However, it's important to note that not all devices can connect to Wi-Fi using QR codes. For those without this capability, we have a complete guide on how to extract the Wi-Fi password from a QR code.
Using Google Lens:
1. Make sure your device is connected to the internet through mobile data or Wi-Fi.
2. Launch Google Lens on your phone, either from the Google widget or as a standalone app.
3. Point your phone's camera at the QR code containing the Wi-Fi password.
4. The screen will display the Wi-Fi password.
5. Use the password to connect your device to the Wi-Fi network.
Using a Scanner App:
If you're not connected to the internet, you can still scan the QR code using a dedicated scanner app. Make sure to install the app on your device beforehand.
1. Open the QR scanner app on your phone.
2. If another device has the QR code, scan it by aligning your camera with the code.
3. If the QR code is saved in your gallery, select the gallery option within the app and choose the QR code you want to scan.
4. The app will reveal the Wi-Fi password stored in the QR code.
5. Use the password to connect your device to the Wi-Fi network.
By following these simple steps, you can access the Wi-Fi password stored in a QR code, even if your device doesn't natively support QR code scanning."
