How do you distribute credentials to residents?

My Macbook is permanently locked out of Cox's hotspot system (used in some U.S. hotels) because the password was given to me on a tiny label which I couldn't read as a blind person except through OCR, and the OCR was wrong a few too many times.

Do macs not spoof their macid (heh) everytime they join a network? I thought android (and windows?) did that already?
They do, by default. You have to override it on a per-network basis to disable this behavior.
We push a QR code to their TV as well as send them an SMS after check in.
