It is a complicated password and don't feel like retyping it several times.

Save your password in notepad (or whatever is used for notes/etc on android)
Copy and paste when you need the pw.
(OK, maybe not a great solution, but something that I might do, regardless of the security considerations)

Do you have a password manager that you can use on Android?

Well actually yes I use a password manager but my other family members do not. :(

It is just for something simple but I still like to have a good password.

You continue to add complications to what should be simple :)
So, you want to make it easier for your family members to connect?
(or, keep them out?)

(Maybe teach your family how simple it could be to use a password manager... ;) )

Just copy-paste and send the password as text via text/Whatsapp?

I keep a list of passwords for my family members as well, and it's just a simply copy-n-paste.
