Logging into your computer with a chip implant:
Long story short, I just transitioned from service technician to service manager at my job. Now I’m 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. I’ve got a NExT in my left hand that’s been waiting for an opportunity just like this.
Thank y’all 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. I’ll dig more into these later today.
This sounds like a good solution.

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 you’re interested. They’re open box/like new. Authentic as far as I can tell. Wrote to my flexsecure perfectly fine.
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.
There’s also this project:
Also, @Zwack, I haven’t 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 you’re 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

There’s 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.

Haven’t used it to much, but I heard good things about it. I’ll definitely use it more once I get my Apex Flex implanted.
I seen also that Digital Logic released the JustID, which is a “NFC UID Reader Keyboard Emulator USB Dongle”, 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 somewhere…

random question:
What are you guys using for link shortener?
Can you change the target of the re-direct on the fly or is it locked once created?
Any reason to avoid them?
I never used one, ad if i can re-direct it on the go, im thinking to put that on an NFC tag so i can change where it goes to with out having to re-program said tag … at least that’s the hope 
there’s 3 that i consistently use.
