Abstract
There is provided a method and apparatus for communications using short range communications such as Near Field Communications (NFC). A mobile device comprising an NFC subsystem provides a dynamic credential for use to login to a network requiring two factor authentication. A terminal used for logging in to the network is associated with an NFC reader, and bringing the NFC device in proximity to the NFC reader provides the terminal with the dynamic credential required for two factor authentication.
