During the stay
The WiFi password, without the typing
Network name, password, and a QR code the guest's camera reads to join. No squinting at a sticker behind the router, no message to you at midnight.
Without it
- The password is a long string of random characters on a label nobody can read.
- You change the router and forget the printed card still says the old one.
- It is the single most asked question in hosting, and you answer it by hand every time.
How it works
Add a WiFi section to your guide. You fill in the network name and the password, and pick whether the network is protected or open. That is the whole job.
The guest opens their link and sees the network name and the password laid out clearly, in a font where a lowercase l and the number 1 do not look the same. They can tap to copy the password rather than retyping it.
Underneath, there is a QR code.
The QR code is the part guests actually use
Typing Xk7#mQ2!pR9 on a phone keyboard, in a strange flat, after a long
journey, is where a good arrival goes wrong. Most people get it wrong twice
before they get it right, and some of them message you instead of trying a
third time.
The QR code removes that entirely. The guest opens their phone camera, points it at the code on the screen, and taps the prompt that appears. The phone joins the network. They never see the password and never type a character of it.
This is a standard that phones have understood for years — it is the same kind of code cafés print and stick on the wall. Nothing to install on the guest’s side.
Hidden and open networks
If your network does not broadcast its name, tick the hidden option and the QR code still works — the phone is told the name as well as the password.
If your network has no password at all, choose the open setting. The guide then shows the network name without pretending there is a password to enter, and the QR code joins without one.
When you change the password
Change it in one place — the WiFi section of your guide — and save.
Every guest link points at the same guide, so the next time anyone opens theirs, they see the new password and the QR code carries the new one. That includes guests who are in the flat right now and guests whose links you sent last month.
This is the part that a printed card cannot do. A card is right on the day you print it and slowly becomes wrong. The people who find out are your guests, at the worst possible moment, and the person who hears about it is you.
Where else the password can appear
If you are on Pro, you can also put the WiFi section on a printed QR card that lives in the flat permanently. That is a separate link, tied to the property rather than to a booking, and you choose exactly which sections it shows — WiFi and house rules, say, but not the door code.
It covers the guest whose phone is dead and the guest who has closed their booking link. The card on the fridge keeps working; you still only maintain one guide.
What this costs
The WiFi section, the QR code and the copy button are all on the free plan. The permanent in-property card is part of Pro.
FAQ
Does the QR code work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. It uses the standard WiFi QR format that modern phone cameras already understand. The guest opens the camera, points it at the code, and taps the prompt to join.
What if I have two networks, or a guest network?
Add a WiFi section for each one and give them clear titles, or use the note to say which network is for guests. Guests see them in the order you put them in.
Is it safe to put the password in the guide?
The guide is only reachable through the link you issued for that booking, and that link stops working after check-out. That is a good deal tighter than a password printed on a card that stays in the flat between guests.
