Agree 100% but QR codes with long strings are a problem too.
I have the maximum allowed WiFi password (63 characters?) on my network and it’s all randomly generated. I have a giant QR code on a sheet of paper but even that is difficult to scan.
That sounds like a pain - surely there's a shorter length that's still strong enough that it can't be cracked in a trillion years?
It’s really not much of a pain. All our Apple devices sync WiFi passwords and if we have a guest we can usually share it when they go to their WiFi settings.
The only time it’s been a pain is while connecting Oculus Quest devices because they give you zero ways of copying it from another device. No QR code recognition while you’ve got multiple cameras strapped to your face? Super annoying.
