Did something similar for my roommates recently. We have no printer in our flat, so I grabbed a piece of graph paper, redrew the QR code and taped it onto the fridge. Now our guests can simply scan the picture instead of strenuously rewriting the complicated password.

What's the problem with using a long but humanly readable password, like several concatenated words? It's not like you are trying to protect against large scale attacks.

Scanning it is easier than typing it into your phone.
