Service to store and share WiFi credentials
Service to store and share WiFi credentials
This is a bit of an odd one,
I have just moved to another country where internet is very expensive, and i would like to have an app to create a shared list of Wifi creds where i find them, whether that is offices, hotels or cafes, etc.
It would kind of be like the OpenWifi Map, but maybe a bit more private?
Does anyone know of anything like this? it would be able to tell where you are and alert you or autoconnet to the wifi using the credentials that are stored.
The reason i want it to be shared is that my wife can use the ones that i find and vice-versa.
cheers
You can use Keepass or most of the password manager software (I think) to save and share wifi username and password. But I don't think it is possible to auto connect to the saved wifi though.
Macrodroid/Automate/Tasker and Syncthing.
I do something Ike this - we have a folder on our phones kept in sync with Syncthing.
Then use Macrodroid to save the info to a file (location, wifi name, wifi key).
Would probably require 2 macros - one to save the info, and one that looks for the wifi ID in the file when your phone sees that wifi as available.
Or just use a text file in that folder, keep a shortcut to it on your home screen. Whenever either of you update the file, those changes will show up almost instantly on the other phone.
If you
hadadd a pc at home to the sync job, you get a little more stability in the sync (don't have to wait for both phones to be on to sync).Wifi ID alone is probably all you need to save. Location would be superfluous (nice to have but not required).
oh that is cool. thanks!
Any ideas on which would be a better automate tool? i have not used either.
Can you share your macro's?
