Dear Alexey,

23 Oct 21 11:40, you wrote to Jay Harris:

 AV> Entering your WiFi prameters on an external resource is a very unwise

The https://qifi.org site says that everything happens locally in your
browser. Of course it is your right to disbelieve them.

 AV> echo 'WIFI:T:WPA;S:Muzenirres;P:ds4tN3oxUzku61WD;;' \
 AV> | qrencode -s 50 -l H -8 -d 600 -o my_wifi.png

The site above also suggests piping the string "WIFI:S:;T:
WPA|WEP|>;P:;;" into your favourite QR-code generator, which is IMHO
very courteous and responsible of them.
