RFID Reader as an identity checker for PC access?

Can anyone tell me if such a https://www.identible.de/acs-acr122u-a9-rfid-nfc-reader.html can be used on PCs and laptops as a replacement for windows password? Best with various access rights. The idea behind it is that the office staff can provide access ONLY for their own PC. Unfortunately, there were already incidents in our open-plan office, which require such a measure.

Whether the user can only log on to their own computer is still a question of the guidelines, not the authentication method.

Please do not misunderstand me, 2-factor authentication is always a good thing, but why do you believe in finding the solution to your problem?

The simplest variant would be to create users who then log in as well. Everyone has their own password and username. So several can also use a PC and the logins can be tracked who did what when on the PC. I know a type of RFID for access data only under Linux (I'm Linux Admin) as well as I know something similar with keys but under POS systems. The waiter X pushes his key into the friendly lock or pulls his magnetic card through the slot, so can make the settlement for the serviced guests. There are time recording systems that work with RFID. In addition, you could also implement the access to the PC accordingly. Under Windows, it is expensive and expensive. For a Linux version (Distri) that would be a breeze to set something up and inexpensive. If the interest tends to Linux can contact me directly, because we can somehow put together what synonymous you would fit.

I have it at home - it's a bit harder to set up on iOS, so I have the RFID KBR1 USB Reader from Dangerous Things, which works on both Windows and iOS. How does it work: you read the UID of the chip, and set it as a password. Works great - I unlock my computer with my RFID implant
