How to create a strong Wi-Fi password

  1. Pick a key length. WPA2 and WPA3 accept 8–63 characters; we default to 24, which is very strong but still practical to type once.
  2. Keep “Avoid look-alikes” on if you'll ever type the key on a TV, games console or printer, where l, 1, O and 0 are easy to confuse.
  3. Copy the key into your router's wireless settings (usually under Wireless → Security in the router's admin page).
  4. Type your network name to get a QR code. Phones join the network just by scanning it, so guests never need to see or type the password.

Why Wi-Fi passwords need to be long

Unlike a website login, a Wi-Fi key can be attacked offline: someone nearby can capture the connection handshake and then try billions of guesses on their own hardware, with no lockout. Short or dictionary-based keys like sharma@1234 fall quickly. A random 20+ character key is out of reach of any practical attack.

Wi-Fi security checklist

  • Use WPA3 or WPA2-AES. Never WEP, which can be broken in minutes.
  • Change the router's admin password too, not just the Wi-Fi key.
  • Turn off WPS (the push-button/PIN pairing feature), which has known weaknesses.
  • Run a separate guest network for visitors and smart-home devices.
  • Keep the router's firmware up to date.

Frequently asked questions

Is the network name or password sent anywhere?

No. Both the password and the QR code are generated in your browser. Nothing you type on this page is uploaded.

Why are some symbols never used?

Characters like semicolons, commas, colons, quotes and backslashes have special meaning inside Wi-Fi QR codes and are awkward to type on TVs, so the generator uses only symbols that work everywhere.

How do guests use the QR code?

On most Android phones and iPhones, open the camera and point it at the code; a prompt to join the network appears. Print it and stick it somewhere guests can see it.
