Abstract
Computing devices having access control are disclosed. The computing device may include a display, one or more processors, a non-transitory storage media, a communication interface, and an operating system. The storage media may include instructions stored therein that are configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The stored instructions may include instructions for reading an identifier (ID) of a physical key via the communication interface. The stored instructions may additionally include instructions for determining whether the ID read from the physical key is included on a list of paired physical keys. The stored instructions may further include instructions to communicate to the operating system an authorization signal equivalent to input of a valid password when the ID read from the physical key is included on the list of paired physical keys.
