There, touch the Settings icon next to the name of the desired WiFi connection. This step will open a screen displaying the main details of the respective connection.

Click on the Share icon and you will be asked to verify if it is really you. You can do that by using the fingerprint, face or other authentication method you have enabled on your device.

After authentication, the Share Wi-Fi screen will generate a QR code for you. Then you just need to move your phone around and people can scan it to connect to the network. Note that the screen will also include the password. If someone has trouble connecting to a QR code, they can enter the code manually.
