beeng,

I do it the other way around, get my Linux PC to scan via Webcam a QR code for wifi from my Android phone that’s already connected

Gooey0210,

Not sure what this software is trying to solve, there’s qrencode 😄

GravitySpoiled,

That’s cool!

Androids can generate a qr code as well. I guess it’s the same result but non-tech people can use it. This would be cool if it was part of KDE/GNOME or a somewhat standalone app.

I assume the webapp runs locally, right? ianharris.io/wifi-qr-web/ if so, it would be nice to have it stated somewhere that it’s save to use (although you should probably not use a website for such things as the info is too valuable.

GNOME can already generate QR codes, not sure about KDE

fl42v,

Looking at what’s inside, you can pretty much do it with bash + qrencode. At the first glance, it’s basically an encoded string like WIFI:T:$SECURITY;S:$SSID;P:$PASSWORD;H:$HIDDEN;; where $SECURITY will most often be WPA
