Today we access our chats, our credit cards, and our social networks with the convenience and security of our phones. Now you can access physical places too, including your office, gym, and garages. With the rise of mobile credential adoption, key cards are becoming less popular.
Here are 3 benefits of using mobile credentials over key cards and badges:
Convenience
- Security admins can issue or revoke credentials from anywhere, anytime
- Issuing a credential no longer requires setting up and handing out physical cards or fobs
- For mobile users, the smartphone is their credential; no need to carry a separate card or key fob
- Mobile credentials can unlock doors remotely (e.g. admins can open doors when they are not on site, and mobile users can open the garage from inside their car)
Security
- Mobile device security (PIN/fingerprint) can still protect the credential if it is lost/stolen
- Mobile device credentials cannot be “skimmed” like a card
- Mobile credentials can use new and advanced security methods that are not available on all physical cards
Financial
- Reduces the need for purchasing and storing physical credentials
- No physical credentials to replace because of loss or damage
