Test your generation QR code by pointing the iPhone camera at it. It’ll ask if

you want the device to join the Wi-Fi network.

Changing your password

If you alter your Wi-Fi password, you

must edit the shortcut but be aware, your

password will always be viewable within

that shortcut. For greater privacy, consider

using an ‘Ask For Input’ action in place of

this Text box (simply search for it). Then

replace ‘Text’ in step six of our tutorial

with ‘Ask For Input’. When the shortcut

runs, it’ll instead prompt for a password

and base the QR code on your answer.

Generate QR Code

Back to the Search box now. This time,

enter ‘Generate QR Code’ and the relevant

option will appear. As before, you’ll simply need

to tap this to add it to the shortcut.

Ensure it shows

Finally, we need a way of presenting the

QR code to you. This is as simple as searching

for Quick Look and tapping the entry. To finish

up, tap ‘Done’ in the top-right corner.

9

Play the shortcut

Tap the ‘Library’ button and your new

shortcut should be ready and waiting. When

you tap this, the shortcut will run through the

steps you created and show you the QR code.

Build the tool

Ensure Get Networks Details is set to

‘Network: Wi-Fi and Get: Network Name’. Now

enter ‘Text’ in the Search box and tap the entry

called Text when it shows on your screen.

5

Enter your password

In the Text box that’s now part of your

shortcut’s flow, enter your Wi-Fi password

and tap ‘Done’ located beneath it. Now add

another Text box (follow the previous step).

6

Create some code

In this box, type ‘WIFI:S:’ and tap

‘Networks Details’ from the options below.

Then type ‘;T:WPA;P:’ and select the Text icon

from the options. Finally, type ‘;;’.
