Does this redirect to WifiLink URLs or legacy QR code URLs? Both eventually expose the password, although the obfuscation step does add value.

Hi @futhey , We do not redirect to WiFilink URLS or QR code URLS. When user click on the link we navigate them to WiFilink mobile app and connect them to network using mobile app. We have two options with which user can share their the wifi credentials: 1) Link: In this option we encrypt the credentials and share it. The encryption algorithm which we are using can only be decode with the key that makes it secure and no one can decode it. This option requires our app installed for both sender and receiver to encode and decode the credentials. 2) QR code: In this option you can view the password with a QR scanner. because we are using the native functionality with which you can scan the QR code with your mobile camera and it will ask you to connect with the network. In this option only sender required the app installed to generate the QR code and receiver can simply scan with their camera for connection.

@trippro Gotcha, thanks! So you can only retrieve the password if you use a third-party app to intercept the URL inside the QR code. Nice app by the way!

I want to know how to protect the WiFi password security, because many Android phones can share the password by sharing after connecting to the WiFi. When scanning and sharing the QR code, the clear text password will be exposed.

Hi @rickys7 , WifiLink offers 2 option of sharing method. The encrypted link method, and QR code. If you want to protect your WiFi password, please use the share link method. With this option, your credential is encrypted and share. The encryption algorithm which we uses can only be decode with the key that makes it secure and no one can decode it. This option requires our app installed for both sender and receiver to encode and decode the credentials. The QR codes can be scanned and read from any QR scanner, thats why anyone can see the password. Its make sharing covenience, where you can share your WiFi or Hotspot with other in a click, and receiver don't have to installed our app, but it is not protected. Hope this information helpful 😁

👋 Hi everyone! Hope you all good and safe. We created WifiLink to help people who uses same password for most of the things or activities, just like myself. Some of which often too easy to remember or guess, like birthday, anniversary, etc. 🤔 So when someone asks for my wifi password, I often stuck in this epic pause, thinking if I should give it out. This like giving out password for my laptop, atm, cloud account, amazon, app store, and gosh, believe me, it's on everything that required password. 🧘‍♀️ But that’s not going to happen anymore. The next time someone ask for my wifi password, I simply let them scan the QR code, or share a link with them. That way, they can connect to my WiFi without my password. No more worries about forgetting (or exposing…) sensitive login information! Connection can be shared by scanning the QR code or by sending the encrypted link via various chat platforms. This is particularly great for restaurants, coffee shops, and other venues that offer WiFi. Visitors can simply scan a QR code that is placed out by the business to connect to wifi. WifiLink is the better, smarter, and simpler way to connect and share. Rest assured with a piece of mind that your information is safe and protected. Whether you have a business or are just someone who wants to share connection with those around you, this is a must-have service. I hope you find WifiLink valuable. And I hope it can help you share your WiFi or Hotspot connection with other easier and safer. Feel free to drop your feedback or question. Let us know if there is anything we can improve and make this a better app 😁

Thanks for the feedback @cody_mikol 👋 As far as I am aware, we are the first to use encrypted method to share WiFi or Hotspot connection. The credentials are protected and only can be decode with the app. And It is not possible for third-party app to intercept and obtain the credentials. I couldn’t find anywhere in your product offer such functionality, when you said this app is a resemblance of your product. However if what you addressed here is the QR code feature, here is what I’ve found. The WiFi QR code creator are available long before your product, such as qifi.org, qr-code-generator.com, and com.madeng.wifiqr(created back in 2015). Does it mean your product is also a resemblance of theirs, since you use the same idea to generate QR code using WiFi credentials 🤔 The main feature of WifiLink is to offer a protected method to share WiFi or Hotspot connection, so user don’t have to give out or expose their password. The QR code is just an alternative function that allows user to share their network connection with people they know, or trust. I don’t think in anyway, this app is a resemblance of yours. It’s a different attempt.
