Never awkwardly explain your Wi-Fi name or password again.
Mijatovic uses a Raspberry Pi Pico connected to an OLED display to act as an ever changing Wi-Fi QR code, and it does a bit more than just let guests on your network. With the custom scripts, Mijatovic has coded this device to automatically set up a new encrypted guest network on your Wi-Fi. This totally unique data then gets shared to the screen via QR code, allowing the guest to still get that seamless login experience.
Before you get your tinkering kits out, be aware this project might not be for everyone. It's based on a MikroTik router made in Latvia, which you may not have in your home. This router can be configured over Secure Shell or SSH, which is an enhanced security encryption algorithm. Other routers might let you do it and here's abut you'll want to check first, and you're likely going to have to mess with the settings a fair bit.
You can get into the nitty-gritty by watching Mijatovic's video embedded in the top of this article, then download the project on. Though even Mijatovic explains in a disclaimer there are likely better ways to achieve this or a similar solution, it's definitely a great place to start the mind working.
A fully fledged solution would be great for hostels and hotels, allowing guests to have their own secure Wi-Fi login with a simple scan. Similarly for coworking spaces, airports, and anyone who just wants to be a bit wonderfully over the top on their Wi-Fi security.
