Description
WiFiKeyShare lets you easily share your Wi-Fi password by generating a QR code or by writing it to an NFC tag.
The QR code should be recognized by most barcode scanner applications (i.e. Barcode Scanner by ZXing) and the NFC tag is formatted in the same way as Android does since it introduced its "Write to NFC tag" option in Lollipop. That means people running Android 5.0+ won't have to download any specific app to connect to the network after scanning the tag.
You can also send Wi-Fi configuration via Android Beam: while on a Wi-Fi network screen, tap your device to your friend's device and a pop-up will appear asking if they want to connect.
Important note
Android does not let apps read the saved Wi-Fi passwords, so you will need to enter them manually for each network you want to share. However, the passwords will automatically be retrieved if WiFiKeyShare is given root access.

This app is really working if you are connected to a Wi-Fi and wants to connect to second device also you don't know the Wi-Fi password that you have connected thqn this app helps you to share Wi-Fi password with the help of QR code
★★★★★
Love it. I suggest printing your access point data, and writing it on a NFC tag, then gluing the NFC tag behind the paper and voilà
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work. Display password shows graphic characters, not real password.
★★☆☆☆
Fake commitments, fake app, what's the use if you know the password then tou can share but if you don't then it's of no use, useless app
