How to Create QR Codes Safely
A QR code is only a container for data. It can make sharing easier, but the destination, network details, or receiving address still need independent verification.
Wi-Fi QR codes
Wi-Fi QR codes can contain the network name, security method, and password. They are convenient for guests, but anyone who scans the code may be able to join the network.
Crypto QR codes
Use only a public receiving address. Format checks can catch obvious mistakes, but they cannot prove address ownership or confirm that the recipient is correct.
Before sharing a QR code
- Scan the generated QR code yourself before publishing or printing it.
- Use HTTPS URLs for website QR codes.
- Do not encode credentials, recovery codes, seed phrases, or private keys.
- For Wi-Fi, consider whether guests should receive permanent network access.
- For crypto, compare the full recipient address through a trusted channel before sending funds.
Format checks are not ownership checks
A QR generator can validate basic address shape for supported networks, but validation only means the text resembles an address. It does not confirm the wallet owner, account status, or transaction destination.
For crypto payments, verify the address from the recipient directly, check the network carefully, and send a small test transaction when appropriate.
Keep generation local
Local generation reduces unnecessary exposure for Wi-Fi credentials, personal links, and public receiving addresses. InboxMade generates QR output in the browser and lets you download PNG or SVG without creating an account.
