idea generate W-Lan configuration as QR-Code to transfer it from phone to tablet

Hello, i thought about the configuration transfer of a W-Lan hotspot on the phone to the tablet. In lack of a sim support on the tablet, the only way using internet on the tablet if no other W-Lan hotspot is present, is to use the phone as hotspot. The W-Lan security depends sigificant on the passphrase you use. So is you use 63 alpha numeric characters it is not easy to configure the W-Lan on both devices (especially if the passphrase are random generated). So it would be a nice feature if it is possible to show the W-Lan configuration as a QR-Code on the display of the phone and can be scanned and importet on the tablet.

I have to observe, that AVMs Fritz Box shows also a QR-Code for the W-Lan settings. May be there is a standard format for the configuration.
