“What’s the Wi‑Fi password?” On Android, you can show a QR code instead.
Find Your Network
Swipe down to open Quick Settings, touch and hold the Wi‑Fi or Internet tile, and tap the gear next to the network you’re on. It works on Pixel, Samsung, Motorola and more.
Tap Share
Tap Share (on Samsung it says QR code) and confirm with your fingerprint or PIN. Guests scan the code with any camera, even an iPhone’s.
Pro Move: Print It
On Pixel, the password also shows under the code. Take a screenshot and print it for the guest room or fridge.
Bonus Tip: Join With a Scan
Open your Camera, point it at someone’s Wi‑Fi QR code and tap the pop-up to connect.
