Ignition 8.3 - Login using NFC via Perspective Session Events

Ignition
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working with Ignition 8.3 (Perspective) and I’m exploring the possibility of implementing user login using NFC.

I understand that Perspective supports the “NFC NDEF Scanned” session event (mainly via the Ignition Perspective mobile app), but I want to clarify the following:

  1. Is there any official or recommended way to use NFC for authentication/login in Perspective?

  2. Has anyone successfully implemented a flow where:

    • An NFC tag is scanned

    • The tag ID or payload is handled in a Session Event

    • The user is authenticated (e.g., matched against a database or IdP)

    • The session is logged in programmatically?

  3. Are there any limitations or security considerations I should be aware of when using NFC this way?

  4. Does this work only in the Perspective mobile app, or has anyone used it with:

    • Browser support

    • External NFC/RFID readers (keyboard emulation, etc.)?

At this stage, I’m not looking for a built-in “badge login” feature, but rather best practices or real-world experience using NFC as part of a custom authentication workflow.

Any insights, examples, or documentation pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

This is not possible in Perspective.
