A close to damn-near-useless idea. Why would our users want to use
their cell-phones? Our system provides the users with their only
contact to the outside world. It's a stupid waste of money, yet some
clown in the main office did just that! Fortunately, the original label
also had the password and login info from the manufacturer. The queer
code was a colossal waste of money and generator of support issues.

We put a sticker with the credentials on the top of the router in
plain English.

If you were already printing a label with that information, I
don't see it as any less secure than embedding the same
information in a QR code. Probably slightly safer, since it
would take a QR reader to interpret it. My QR-foo is even
worse than my French.

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?
