When you share WIFI Information between devices, Like android, it just
gives all the info in a QR code that the other phone can scan.

Remember ThioJoe? He popped up in my browser today showing people how
to put their WiFi SSID and password in a QR code to attach to the router.
Is this a good or bad idea?
When we set up a leased router for a customer, we usually print a WiFi
label with a Brother labelmaker and stick it on the back of the
router. We have a desktop labelmaker at the office that can probably
print QR codes, not sure we have one for the installers. But aside
from that, is this a security risk of some sort? I guess a QR code is
just a machine readable version of the text we’re already putting on
the router. And since you can put other images and text on a QR code
label, we could put the human readable version and even our logo there.
Am I just being skeptical about this idea because it comes from a
former YouTube troll?
