Why would you trust a random page on the internet and go paste your wifi password on it?
- jackson1442 5y agoIs your threat model really so severe that it includes someone driving to your house and connecting to your wifi network? Of all passwords, a wifi password is one you should _never_ reuse. You could also inspect the source, it’s open source, or network requests.
- black3r 5y agoopening in incognito tab with internet disconnected to make sure it works offline and that nothing gets sent after you close the incognito tab should be safe & secure but yeah you can also google the proper qr code format and make it yourself using qrencode in terminal or something like that... but for semi-public WiFis like the ones in restaurants, hotels, ... it's a survivable risk
- owlbynight 5y agoI don't, that's why having access to the source code is cool.
