Can you share Wi-Fi password to computer?

Answered by Edward Huber

It is possible to share your Wi-Fi password from your Android phone to a computer. There are a few different methods you can use to accomplish this.

One way is to use the Wi-Fi sharing feature available on some Android devices. To do this, you’ll need to make sure both your phone and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then, on your phone, go to Settings, Connections (or Network and Internet), and then Wi-Fi. Find the network you want to share and tap on it. You should see an option to Share or QR code. If you select Share, you can choose to send the password via various methods like messaging apps or email.

If you prefer using a QR code, tap on the QR code icon next to the network name. Your phone will generate a QR code containing the Wi-Fi information. On your computer, you’ll need a QR code scanner app or software. Once you scan the code, the computer should automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network.

Another method to share the Wi-Fi password is to use a third-party app. There are several apps available on the Google Play Store that allow you to share Wi-Fi passwords between devices. These apps typically work by creating a QR code or a shareable link that contains the Wi-Fi information. You can then share this code or link with your computer, and it will connect to the Wi-Fi network by scanning the code or clicking the link.

Additionally, if your computer has a QR code scanner built-in, you can simply use your phone to display the QR code and then scan it with your computer’s camera. This will automatically connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network.

It’s worth noting that the specific steps may vary slightly depending on the make and model of your Android phone and the operating system version you are using. However, the general process should be similar across most devices.

In my personal experience, I have used the Wi-Fi sharing feature on my Android phone to quickly connect my computer to a Wi-Fi network without having to manually enter the password. It’s a convenient and efficient way to share Wi-Fi credentials between devices.
