wifi-qr

wifi-qr attempts to simplify the process of sharing passwords with mobiles by generating a wifi qr code where mobile uses can scan to connect to the wifi network.

wifi-qr depends on qrencode

Currently this script only supports macOS and linux (with Network Manager).

Inspired by wifi-password
