Probably slightly safer, since it would take a QR reader to interpret it. My QR-foo is even worse than my French. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 12/3/2024 3:08 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: 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? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
