It pulls your Wi-Fi name and gets that variable as the SSID. You have to enter the password as the text there, then it gets that text as the password and it puts that into a The QR code. So the QR code is embedded with the wifi name and password.
So as soon as someone scans the code they will instantly be connected to the network. This comes in handy if you don’t want to reveal your password to someone but still, you want them to connect to your WiFi.
