Is a QR Code a Good Way to Move a Password Between Devices?

[NightHollow]

Typing a long random password from a computer into a phone can be surprisingly inconvenient. Would you use a locally generated QR code to transfer it instead, or would you rather rely entirely on password-manager syncing? Strong Password Generator can encode a generated password into a QR code for transfer to another device.

I use the generator on that site for this exact thing. It creates a random password and encodes it into a QR code locally, so you scan it with your phone instead of typing. I find it really handy for moving passwords between devices, so check it out if you want a smoother way to do that.
