From Office Doors to Digital Platforms — One Badge for Both Physical and Online Access

One Badge for Doors and Login — Unified FIDO2 Access Solutions

Most companies today still use separate systems for physical access and digital authentication. Employees carry an RFID badge to open doors, but still rely on passwords, PINs or SMS codes to access computers and applications.

With FIDO2 authentication, these two worlds can finally merge. A single corporate badge — equipped with RFID, NFC or smart chip technology — can be used to unlock both buildings and digital systems.

The Problem with Traditional Authentication

  • Employees need to remember multiple passwords
  • Systems are often protected with easily bypassed SMS 2FA
  • Access cards only work on doors, not on digital platforms
  • IT departments manage parallel systems for physical and digital identity

This creates friction, cost and security gaps.

The Solution: Unified Identity with FIDO2-Enabled Badges

A properly configured smart card or RFID badge can serve as a dual-purpose authentication token:

Door EntryTap on RFID reader—
Workstation Login—Tap on FIDO2-enabled reader
Web Application Login—Confirm via NFC phone or USB reader

With the right infrastructure, one badge can handle all three — without relying on passwords.

How Corona Print Enables Dual-Use Access Cards

Corona Print delivers the physical foundation for unified authentication by providing:

  • RFID and dual-frequency cards compatible with common access control systems
  • Smart chip technology cards suitable for cryptographic login
  • Employee-branded identity badges that function visually and technically
  • Key fobs or wearable credentials for hands-free authentication

These products can be adapted to existing systems or supplied for new deployments.

Why Businesses Are Making the Switch

  • Simplified user experience — one credential instead of multiple methods
  • Higher security — no shared passwords, no remote attack surface
  • Lower operational cost — less time spent on password resets and card management
  • Better compliance — aligns with Zero Trust and modern identity frameworks

If your company is looking to connect physical and digital access under one secure badge, Corona Print can deliver customized FIDO2-ready cards and key fobs designed for your infrastructure.
