QR codes for Wi-Fi

Find a QR code for your Wi-Fi so friends and family can easily connect to your network.

1Password automatically generates a QR code for Wireless Router items. Anyone can use the camera on their device to scan this QR code and connect to your Wi-Fi network.

In order for 1Password to generate a QR code, you must have the following fields filled out in your 1Password Wireless Router item:

  • Wireless network password
  • Network name

A new QR code will be generated if you update the network name or network password field. Keep this in mind if you’ve printed a copy of your QR code.
