So guests use their phone data to access a publicly available list of WiFi credentials and then use that to connect to your home network???

Most of the time it’s used to help guests get onto the wifi quickly.
I also find it handy to get the wifi password when on-boarding smart devices or whatever new gadget.

But how do they connect to your network in order to access this web app? If the WiFi network credentials are needed to access the network that has the QR code for the network credentials, this sounds like a Catch 22.
Also, is a QR code useful if the web app is opened on the very phone needing the credentials? Perhaps other phones are different, but my smartphone is unable to scan a QR code that is on the display.
