Disclosed herein is a system and method for wireless proximity-based access to a computing system, which in accordance with certain aspects of an embodiment of the invention includes a small, portable, person-carried or personal-item-carried (e.g., by attachment to a user's key's, purse, knapsack, etc.) wireless transmitter that serves as a 'key,' and a wireless receiver configured for attachment to the computing system that serves as a 'lock.' The lock may comprise, for example, a USB device that both wirelessly communicates with the key to detect its physical proximity, and communicates with the computer access software that is native on the computing system (e.g., standard WINDOWS username and password authentication processes) to either allow or disallow such computer access software from allowing access to the computing system based upon the physical proximity of the key to the lock.
