Create a QR code with any QR generator in this format: | |
WIFI:S:<ssid>;T:<wpa|wep|>;P:<password>;; | |
Scanning this code will automatically add the WiFi details to the device. [1][2] | |
iOS will share the username and password. To prevent that, create a configuration file using | |
the iPhone configuration utility and have the QR code link to that file. This file can be on | |
Dropbox or any other server. [3] | |
