If you’re both using Apple devices it works like this:

Guest: “What’s your wifi network?”

Me: “It’s XXXX”

Guest: selects network

Me: Prompt on my device “Would you like to share your wifi password with Guest” . Selects Yes

Guest: “oh wow I’m connected. Thanks!”

Now that only works if I am present. But it works wonderfully. It should be standardised across platforms.

Turn off iCloud everything.

It does take sharing out of your control, however, at least to an extent.

How is being prompted taking sharing "out of your control"?

You also need to be physically close to each other and mutual contacts.
