Somebody DM’d me the other day about the Spark, Here was my reply ( No Names and pretty sure they won’t mind me sharing the reply I gave them )
No worries, so, at the moment, This is my stance on it.
The spark has limited functionality, It is built for the future and the future has yet to arrive but once the APEX line is released, some of that functionality will roll over to the Sparks.
There are also some additional Spark functionality being worked on. Ie the business card and profile sharing.
Just think of it as a replacement to where ever you use a password, you would instead use you Vivokey ( The “problem” is, the thing asking for the password, needs to be able to speak Vivokey)
As you said, you have used it as an authenticator for this and the DT forum, so it kind of relies on the other end to intergrate with Vivokey,
Try this… if it is still working??? map.thunderblaster.io
here is the link to that thread FYI
So there is a plugin for discourse ( what this and DT Forum uses ) so if there was another Forum you were involved in or had your own you could add/ or get plugin added and use your Vivokey to login securely.
The “other end” can be a third party, but it can also be yourself, I don’t imagine you do, but if you had your own wordpress Webpage, you can build it in for that. VivoKey OpenID Connect – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org
Or an API, but pretty much if you aren’t a developer, you kind of need to just wait and more things will come you can use them with.That said, currently, it still has some good uses.
Do you have spark 2 or Spark Original
Spark Original supports ISO15693 so you can use it like your NExT- xNT but with ISO15693 devices that the NExT cant do
Spark 2 you can use very similar to NExT -xNT so you can use it with compatiable ISO14443A things ( eg, you enroll your NExT - xNT with Work access and you could enroll your Spark with your Gym access )
You can share your Contact details ( Sorta ) if somebody scans your Spark, they will see whatever you allow them access to in the form of links… as you have done by RickRolling or you could send them to your personal webpage with CV etc…There will be more functionality coming, We just need to wait for it.
I hope that helps to clarify things a bit
