Do you share passwords with people to join your WiFi network on a regular basis? Guest Pass makes this easy. Just fill out the simple questions in Guest Pass and e-mail the resulting Guest Pass without ever leaving the app. Users receive an attachment that they tap or click, and the next time they are near your network, their iPhone, iPad, or Mac will automatically connect. You can also set expiring dates so the settings will be deleted off the device on the expiration date.

Guest Pass generates a Wi-Fi configuration profile that you send to people that will be using your network. Once the pass reaches the expiration date that you specify, the profile is deleted from the device automatically. A Guest Pass can be re-issued with new expiry dates from your Guest Pass history and completely new Guest Passes can be generated at any time.

Guest Pass is great conference attendees and house guests alike. Anytime you need to give Wi-Fi access to a device running iOS or OS X, Guest Pass is all you need.

Guest Pass for iOS FAQ
Q: What version of iOS do I need to run the Guest Pass app?
A: Guest Pass requires iOS 7 to run.

Q: What devices can I send a Guest Pass to?
A: You can send a Guest Pass to any device running iOS 5+ or OS X 10.7+. (Note that only iOS 6+ or OS X 10.9+ will automatically remove profiles when they expire.)

Q: Why can’t I share a Guest Pass with iMessage or AirDrop?
A: The Configuration Profile datatype from Apple only has a MIME type. That MIME type is only recognized by Mail or Safari. Transferring the Guest Pass with any other method currently results in the user receiving a raw XML file. If Apple broadens support for Configuration Profile handling we will support more options.

Q: Why do my Guest Passes say they are untrusted?
A: Twocanoes Software is unable to provide a private key with the app for signing. Future releases may allow you to import your own signing certificate for use with Guest Pass.

Q: Can I issue a permanent Guest Pass?
A: To issue a “permanent” Guest Pass you can just set a distant expiry date. Many solutions already exist for creating non-expiring Configuration Profiles, but a future release may add support for this feature.

Q: How are the history and pass data saved on my iOS device?
A: Any data, even temporary files, written to disk are encrypted by the highest level of iOS Data Protection.

Q: Is there an iPad version of Guest Pass?
A: Not yet, an iPad specific UI is planned.

Q: Is there a Mac version of Guest Pass?
A: Not yet, a Mac version of Guest Pass is planned.
