Angelina I mean real systems for entry or access where your fingerprints are needed

      Laura You mean like payment via smartphone? It would work.

          Laura

          why, I already worked with Windows 10 in school and noticed that a password is also used for identification there

              Angelina You can use fingerprints as an alternative

              Renita Yes, that's what I mean, you tap your phone instead a card and pay. Belt's lock can be opened with this approach

                    Laura

                    Why not!

                    Laura

                    Or some smartphones.

                    As long as the laptop includes it(not necessary the case),or with an external device.

                    The case in the hotel with the forgotten charger can still happen!😉

                              Vanessa Or some smartphones.

                              Her father doesn't let her use it

                              Vanessa As long as the laptop includes it(not necessary the case),or with an external device.

                              I use external one. But for @Angelina to get familiar how it works in general

                              Vanessa he case in the hotel with the forgotten charger can still happen!

                              Seems you like this idea 😃 However NFC might be just a smartcard

                                      Laura Her father doesn't let her use it

                                      Ah?I did not remember it.

                                      I would hate if such thing would happen to me,but I find it funny.

                                      If we have to use an unusual thing,it is not much different than using a key..

                                            She shouldn't be able to unlock her belt without him, but he should. That's the different from using just a key

                                                Laura

                                                Hum,if he's the only one having the key,it is the case too...

                                                    Laura

                                                    I thought only of a card,not a 2FA thing.In this case,you're right.

                                                      I am more classical... I think that a padlock with a key is perfect for us.
                                                      Specially nowadays that there are plenty of models (mine are typical ones).

                                                        @Laura

                                                        I now roughly understand how it would work 😉

                                                        @Ines

                                                        i have to agree with you, it is (even if it is not positive for me) an intense feeling when i hear the clicking of the locks, i find it a bit strange to imagine something else. a cb is a conservative device and should therefore be closed conservatively

                                                          Angelina a cb is a conservative device and should therefore be closed conservatively

                                                          But the modern world is not so conservative. There are variety of lockpicking tools available to order online mentioned by @BikelockFugitive, 3D printers, etc. So shape of the key is not a strong secret anymore. In my opinion, digital electronic lock is inevitability
