How do I share my Wi-Fi password?

Answered by Robert Flynn

Sharing your Wi-Fi password on Android is a fairly straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to find and share your Wi-Fi password:

1. Open the settings on your Android device. You can usually find the settings app in your app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping on the gear icon.

2. In the settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Network & Internet.” This option may also be labeled as “Connections” or something similar, depending on your device.

3. Within the Network & Internet settings, you’ll find various options related to your network connections. Look for the “Wi-Fi” option and tap on it.

4. On the Wi-Fi screen, you’ll see a list of available Wi-Fi networks. Scroll down to the “Saved networks” section, which displays the networks your device has connected to in the past.

5. Find the network for which you want to share the password and tap on it to access its settings.

6. Once you’re on the network settings page, you should see an option to share the password. This option might be labeled as “Share” or represented by an icon like a QR code. Tap on it.

7. A QR code will be generated, which contains the Wi-Fi network’s name (SSID) and password. You can share this QR code with others so they can easily connect to your Wi-Fi network.

To share the QR code, you have a few options:

– You can take a screenshot of the QR code and send it to the person you want to share the password with. They can then scan the QR code using a QR code scanner app, which will automatically fill in the network details and connect them to the Wi-Fi network.

– If you have a messaging app that supports sharing images, you can directly share the screenshot with the person.

– Alternatively, you can also print out the QR code and physically hand it to the person, allowing them to scan it using their device’s camera.

It’s worth noting that some devices may have slightly different settings or options, but the general process should be similar. If you’re having trouble finding the Wi-Fi sharing option, you can try searching for it in the settings using the search bar at the top.

Sharing your Wi-Fi password on Android involves accessing the network settings, finding the option to share the password, and using a QR code to share the network details with others.
