Your Phone is Your Key: The Benefits of Mobile Credentials for Access Control
Say goodbye to fumbling for keys and access cards! Mobile credentials are revolutionizing access control, offering a secure, convenient, and modern way to unlock doors and manage access to buildings.
What are Mobile Credentials?
Mobile credentials utilize your smartphone or smartwatch as a digital key. By leveraging Bluetooth or Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, your mobile device communicates with access control readers to grant you access to secured areas.
How do Mobile Credentials Work?
- Download the App: You’ll need to download a mobile credential app provided by your access control system provider.
- Receive Your Credential: Your administrator will issue you a digital credential, which is securely delivered to your mobile device.
- Present Your Device: When you approach the door or access point, simply present your smartphone or smartwatch to the reader.
- Access Granted: The reader communicates with your device via Bluetooth or NFC, verifying your credential and unlocking the door.
Benefits of Mobile Credentials:
- Unmatched Convenience: No more digging through your bag for keys or cards. Your phone is always with you, making access quick and easy.
- Enhanced Security: Mobile credentials are highly secure, utilizing encryption and secure authentication protocols to protect against unauthorized access.
- Improved Hygiene: Reduce the spread of germs by eliminating the need to touch shared surfaces like keypads or card readers.

- Eco-Friendly Solution: Reduce plastic waste and contribute to a greener environment by eliminating the need for physical access cards.
- Enhanced User Experience: Mobile credentials offer a modern and user-friendly experience, improving satisfaction for employees, tenants, and visitors.
