How to share Wi-Fi password using QR code in Windows 11

Wi-Fi is a wireless local area network (WLAN) technology and standard that uses high-frequency radio waves to provide wireless Internet and network connectivity to Windows devices.

When connecting to a Wi-Fi network for the first time, Windows automatically adds configuration to the Wi-Fi network. The saved profile contains the SSID (network name), security key (password), and security and connection properties used to connect to this specific Wi-Fi network.

Starting with Windows 11 version 24H2, QR codes are now available in Wi-Fi settings to help you easily share with others to connect. This guide will show you how to create a QR code to easily share your Windows 11 PC's Wi-Fi connection with other devices.
