> QR codes?

How do you change the label on the router that got installed 8 years ago and is working fine? Especially since the owner of the cabin in the woods that you just rented for the weekend is into ... renting cabins in the woods, not geekery.

> have these complicated passwords that seem like overkill. You're probably right that they're some sort of default.

It is the default. If you find their router you'll find that overkill password printed on a label on the bottom. More enlightened ISPs give you extra stickers with the same info that you can put on the fridge or somewhere like that.

There is a wifi credentials QR code standard that can be used to pass the network name, and authentication details. Anyone can generate one, here's a generator app: https://www.qr-code-generator.com/solutions/wifi-qr-code/

Most modern phones recognize the standard and can be used through the native camera app.

We used this for our guests at home.

Oh pretty. Now I just need to tell all the hosts in my future holidays about those :)

Yes I saw it literally few days ago when visiting relative (not even airbnb just her home), so easy to do yet it never occured to me.

I have a framed wifi QR code in my house. It's great. Looks like a photo on the wall.

I should cross-stitch one.
