Logging into your computer with a chip implant:
Long story short, I just transitioned from service technician to service manager at my job. Now Iām doing mostly office work. I would like to find an alternative to typing my 20 character password all day
I read about the ACR122U and Rohos. The ACR122U is not in stock currently with DT. is there an alternative or better solution since the topic I quoted above was posted.
Ideally I would like a scanner with onboard memory, where I could change the output as I change my login password, and it would be saved to the device not a certain computer. I would reference Logitechs macro software that works on the device, I believe. Iāve got a NExT in my left hand thatās been waiting for an opportunity just like this.
Thank yāall for any input.

Rohos a great option.
I know some people are having success with the ACR1252u.
My quick and dirty alternative, is an off the shelf suggestion (but no memory like you are wanting)
an HF and LF reader in one like this
You could change the LF side of your NExT whenever a change needs to happen.
and or you can add a prefix and or suffix you manually type.
Another one, that I really like and I have built a couple of my own (i need to do a write up)
Super clever design and usability.
That should serve your purpose perfectly

Thank you for the quick response. Iāll dig more into these later today.
This sounds like a good solution.

I touch type, but Iām not using that thingā¦
At least it appears to have plenty of space for an NFC reader.

Thatās an awesome find! I daily-drive Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and love it. Itās great for RSI, especially during long programming sessions. Iāve actually been looking for a decent mechanical ergonomic keyboard, dut dang are they expensive. The ZSA Moonlander is at the top of my list rn. It looks amazing, but $365 is a hard pill to swallow for a keyboard. (Iām sure all the keyboard nerds are scoffing at that price)

I found some ACR122Us on eBay a while back. I bought a bunch and then found out that their firmware is problematic on Linux. I could sell you a few if youāre interested. Theyāre open box/like new. Authentic as far as I can tell. Wrote to my flexsecure perfectly fine.
The Keychain Q pro series is an excellent board and the quality and support are top notch.
They have several different layouts and are highly customizable. Entry is usually a hair under 200$

Before i got into custom mechs my mindset was that i wouldnt spend mor ethan 50$ on a keyboard. And i am on mine easily 8-10hrs a day. i dipped my toes into a Keychron Q1. next thing i know im buying 600$ limited run keyboards.
its a slippery slope.

Is this your windows account password? I think @Vicarious had a project using a Pi or something that held a password in memory and typed that when an authenticated chip was scanned.
Thereās also this project:
Also, @Zwack, I havenāt seen you in a while. How the fuck are you? And did Amal finally manage to get under your skin?

Yep.
I had it bookmarked.
As far as I can tell, 2 of the links are now dead.
The Dangerous minds one, that had the info to build your own from the original design.
(I MIGHT have a copy of it SOMEWHERE.)
and the v.icario.us one is also dead.
He does however seel the finished readers on/ Digiwell
Here is the link.
If youāre not in the EU, Postage is pretty high
Everything I have read about them indicates they are great little readers.
Pretty sure @Vicarious has a Git.
It might be on that

Thereās a bank downtown where I live with an ATM in the entryway. The door can be opened by tapping a card so I wondered if my Apex, despite having no card on it, would work.

Havenāt used it to much, but I heard good things about it. Iāll definitely use it more once I get my Apex Flex implanted.
I seen also that Digital Logic released the JustID, which is a āNFC UID Reader Keyboard Emulator USB Dongleā, just like the KBR1. I might try it out. They offer different versions, one which seems might read the xSLX.
The JustID might help folks who are looking for a smaller KBR1, or looking to embed it somewhereā¦
