# How to share a Wi-Fi password with guests

> Put the network name and password in a temp.cool link that can be opened a few times and expires after the visit, then send the link or show its QR code.

1. **Write the network name and password** For example "Network Kantoor-5G, password tulip-Bicycle-42-canal".
2. **Allow a few opens and a short timer** Pick 5 or 10 opens if several people need it, and a timer that ends after the visit, like 1 day.
3. **Send the link or show the QR code** Guests can scan the QR code with their phone camera. No typing of long links.

## Better than a whiteboard

A Wi-Fi password on a whiteboard or in a group chat is seen by everyone who walks past or joins later. A temp.cool link only shows it to the people you give it to, and only for as long as you choose.

## Tips for offices

- **Use a separate guest network.** Keep visitors off the network your printers and file shares live on.
- **Change the guest password now and then,** for example every month. Then old links and old guests lose access.
- **Print the QR code for a meeting room** only if the guest network is truly separate, since anyone can scan a printed code.
