@sil upload the image to a qr decoding web site?
@sil then I don't understand your problem. Just copy and paste the decoded password.
@falken my web page knows the wifi details for the place you're in. I would like to put a button on that page which says "connect to the wifi using these details" and have it work...
@sil as far as I know, that's impossible.
@falken that doesn't help. I know what it decodes to: a string which looks like WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetworkName;P:ThisIsMyPassword;; (see https://www.qr-code-generator.com/solutions/wifi-qr-code/). What I want is to tell the phone I'm on to *act* on that string without having a QR code for it in the real world to scan.
