NFC Tag

Last updated
A near-field communication (NFC) tag functions for reauthentication purposes as proof of possession of a piece of hardware (an ID badge or other object with an NFC sticker on it) that is digitally recognizable by the mobile device.
If a device has been configured to use NFC for secondary authentication, after logging into the Authentication module, the user will be prompted to tap an NFC tag with their device to associate the tag with the login session.
After tapping, the NFC icon will turn green and the user will be allowed to access their logged-in state applications.
When waking a locked device screen, the Auth module will prompt the user to tap the same NFC tag in order to unlock.
If the user taps a different NFC tag that is not associated with the session, the Auth module will display a message stating, "NFC badge data cannot be verified with this session." The NFC icon will turn red, and the user will not be returned to their logged-in state.
If the user taps the NFC tag that they associated with the session, the NFC icon will turn green and the user will be returned to their logged-in state.
The following key-value pair can be set within the settings object of the Launcher configuration JSON file.
