A system and method for transmitting user credentials to another device. According to some embodiments, a method is described of receiving into a first portable electronic device a set of credentials from a user, the set of credentials to include a wireless local area network (WLAN) service set identifier (SSID) and a network key, the set of credentials to allow the first device to connect to a secure WLAN having the SSID. The set of credentials is used to connect the first device to the secure WLAN. The first device creates a message for wireless transmission, wherein the message includes the set of credentials for accessing the secure WLAN and is adapted to be delivered to a second portable electronic device. Finally, the first device transmits the message over the air by the first device, wherein the message is addressed to the second device. The second device receives the message and uses the credentials in the message to connect to the WLAN. Other embodiments are also described. |
