On holiday in greece. Hotel has free wifi that you access by using a separate login and password per device. I cannot for the life of me log in and no guest / hotel staff have been able to help. I am fast running out of inclusive/free data and desperately need to keep on top of work emails. Stupidly did not bring my laptop with me.
When i find the hotel wifi network and try to log in, it is not taking me to a login (username and password) screen, as is the norm. I'm being asked to scan a QR code - a square barcode pops up - but how the hell do i scan it when it's ON my screen?! I've downloaded 3 different QR scanner apps but when the thing that needs scanning pops up you need to 'exit' away from it to open up the scanner app, and then the scanner app has nothing to scan, iyswim. I've tried photographing the QR code on another guests phone and scanning the photo, but that doesnt work. Ive tried googling but cant find anything. Absolutely tearing my hair out and no other guests have this problem - they are just asked to enter a user id and password and then they're in. None of them have to scan any barcodes. Phone is an android. Can anyone help?!
