These past few days I’ve had a lot of time at home, which is wonderful. I’ve had time to get so much done! Moving furniture, cleaning, getting ready for guests. I only just realized that since the last time most of our friends visited, we had to get a new wireless router and it came with new passwords. So I went hunting for an easy way to share the password information with our guests and I found the idea for creating a QR code to scan that would display the password information. The idea was just too good to not share!

It’s really simple! Here are the steps:

• First, write down your SSID (the name of your network) and your network password
• Go to http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/ Its the generator I used.
• Select Wifi network from the contents drop down box
• Enter the SSID and Password information in the appropriate fields
• Click Generate
• It will generate a code for you just like this:

(Yes, that is my actual password and no, I didn’t come up with it.)

Like I said, it’s surprisingly simple. How do you manage the “what’s your wireless password!?” chaos at your house?
