This can be done locally in the browser with qifi: https://github.com/evgeni/qifi

But how else will people blindly enter their wireless credentials into a honeypot?

who would believe such as statement that info is not collected or sent? I have some prime real estate in Florida to sell you if you do!

Luckily, you don’t have to believe - you can see for yourself by opening Developer tools in your browser and monitoring requests under the Network tab.

Just a FYI/PSA: Fritz!Box routers by AVM do have that option right in their WiFi-settings page...

Also, there are lots of offline QR generator apps...

On ios it works fine with the default camera app, but what about android? I'd guess support varies depending on vendor?

It works on my stock android photo app.

This is probably safe, but I really can't bring myself to do it.

Are there any tools to run an untrusted client side web application isolated from the internet?

useradd -m luser

iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -m owner --uid-owner luser -j REJECT

Now log in as luser and run your browser.

No belief is required; the source is available.

Open your network tab and watch for traffic if you want. Or turn off wifi after loading.

I do wish there was an option to safely disable all connectivity in a browser tab (forever) like with Javascript or camera access. Yes, saving the page, disconnecting your network connection, then deleting the page would work, but it's a real bother.

Yep, I kind of wish browser permissions let you gate access to the network just like they do the camera, mic, location, etc. (Though, network permission would probably need to be enabled by default to not break the Web.)

iOS share password functionality has really simplified things for guests. This is a neat idea for an AirBNB or similar short term rentals.

I’m such a huge fan of that functionality. It doesn’t always work perfectly (i.e. pick up someone nearby trying to join the network quickly), but when it does, it’s such an awesome example of tech making our lives better in such a simple but helpful way.
