Phones used to be able to be unlocked without an intermediary HID, but that functionality was removed a good number of years ago.
I believe it can still be done, but it requires rooting your phone.
If you are interested in making a simple integrated reader, I built a device into a phone cover a few years ago that allowed me to do this, but I changed phone not long after and didn’t bother to modify it into my new case.
I have a project thread I made, but it just shows the proof of concept, however i didnt document the improvements of the “final” version.
I might still have it in a drawer, But I feel like I repurposed the reader elsewhere.
EDIT:
In one of my project drawers, most of the parts still there
I have however had a chat with somebody far more clever than myself, and he may make an improved product out of this.
So, watch this space, but no timeline given…

NTAG213 or NTAG216 etc would be valid options
