Instead of installing a package to generate a QR code, you can simply use this free Google service: https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=120x120&cht=qr&chl=WIFI:T:WPA;S:SSID;P:PASSWORD;; https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=120x120&cht=qr&chl=WI... Remember to URL encode the SSID en PASSWORD if you have any characters that can't go into a URL. (Also, you have to trust Google to not store that URL anywhere)

>you have to trust Google to not store that URL anywhere You also have to trust Google to still be operating the service by the time you come to use it.

Instead of using a Google service to generate a QR code and hope they don’t store that URL anywhere, you can simply install a package.

  I'd trust a Debian package over Google's service any day.

Yes, let’s give all passwords for wifi networks to the company that notoriously maps all wifi networks they can find. What could possibly go wrong...?

  They already have all passwords... They are conveniently backed up on android devices. They have the cleartext. (as do apple btw.)

    Apple's WiFi password sharing system uses iCloud Keychain, which is end-to-end encrypted [1] [1] https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

      As long as Apple can run arbitrary code on your device, protocols do not matter.

  This happens every time I use android to connect to a WiFi network. Google stores my info in clear text to them.

    Thanks for the warning, I had no idea. Note to self: always give temporary guest passwords to Android users.
