The company I work in switched to a new building, and we have those stupid doors with RFID cards on them. I’d be damned if I’m going walk with that I’m-working-in-hightech-company-card dangling of my belt. I wonder if there is a way for me to use my phone for credentials. I tried searching for it, and all I could find is ways for me to use the phone in order to copy the info from one card to another.

So is it somehow possible?

    I see that my phone should support encoding NFC tags. I’ll order a cheep ring and see if it works. Thanks.

    I’m still curious though, why cannot phones produce that signals on their own? Isn’t this what they do with payment apps?

        True… I confused the term, but this makes my question even more relevant. Since I have to put the card on the reader, I guess that it is an NFC card, rather than RFID. Which means that I should be able to duplicate the signal with my phone. I think.
