Now assume this setup is to be used for a password entry for your email account. You would, of course, have to
set up your email account to use the password sent by your reader. To do this simply follow the email account’s
steps for changing your password and when it is time to enter your new password, simply let the reader enter it
by reading your access card. Since the reader acts as a keyboard, it will insert your information where your
cursor is currently blinking.
Here is an example, and step by step instructions. Let’s say the facility code on your access card is 5 and the
badge ID on your card is 12 (you can discover this with the Analyze Cards button described earlier in this
document). You can customize this facility/badge information to create a password. For example, if your
company name is XYZ Corporation, you could build a password using your card’s information and the company
name (e.g. XYZ5-12). To configure your reader for this specific password you would need to make sure your

So at this point we have set the reader to read the data
from the card, append and insert the configured
characters and delimiters and output the data string
(XYZ5-12) out the reader’s keyboard endpoint. You could
test this yourself by returning to the Input
