The IndusBoard coin is programmed to function as a secure login key for devices, specifically designed to protect passwords from being stolen or seen by others in public settings. This innovative approach enhances security by eliminating the need to manually enter passwords, reducing the risk of exposure.
In this setup, the IndusBoard coin acts as a login device or key for a laptop. The password for the laptop is pre-programmed into the IndusBoard. When the user needs to unlock the laptop, they simply press an external button connected to the IndusBoard. Upon pressing the button, the board automatically enters the stored password, allowing the laptop to unlock without the user having to type anything.
This method not only streamlines the login process but also significantly enhances security, especially in environments where shoulder surfing or password theft is a concern. The IndusBoard coin’s compact size and ease of use make it an ideal solution for securing personal or work-related devices, ensuring that your password remains confidential while providing quick and convenient access.
