need to add another poll to see if you wear your keycard around your neck with a lanyard, use a belt clip or leave it in your wallet (and just flash the wallet to the card reader) or other....

Really? Sounds...time consuming to me.


I've only had one job that required that I carry a passcard. This was in the early 90's and technology was a bit...bulky. The card was hard plastic and about 1/4" thick. Definitely not comfortable in a wallet...but we were required to carry them.

Nowadays, they have much more "modern technology" in place and the passcards aren't nearly as bulky.

 
I have a keycard. Gets me into the building, into the lab and into the data center. I keep it in my wallet, cause otherwise I'd probably forget it every day.
 
Yup, proximity readers outside/inside of building. Makes sense since we're a manufacturer of access control systems.

I use an ID and vehicle decal to get onto the installation, another ID to be let into my building's compound, that same ID at a proximity reader to be let into the building, then that ID again at a second proximity reader to be let into our workcenter.

So what happens if a superspy lowers himself from the ventilation shaft in the ceiling, then accesses your workstation by hovering over the floor to avoid tripping the weight sensor after you've been lured away by another superspy who dropped a powerful laxative in your coffee?
 
we have rfid badge w/ photo to get in. we handle radioactive sources and explosives so the NRC/ATF are pretty particular about our security measures. you have to have another separate badge to get into the storage areas, only a few people at the camp have them.

also HID stuff.
 
I have to badge through 5 different doors to get to my workplace.

Every once in a while someone manages to social engineer their way back to near where I work, they're usually a little freaked out by the time staff rescues them 🙂
 
A badge for the outside doors. Now that there are no servers onsite, the badge lets me into everywhere (since Test forgot to revoke my access to their lab when I left the group), It on the other hand revoked access to the server room immediately when I moved to engineering .
 
Currrently - no. I work from home. Suckas.

Last job - yes. It wasn't an ID badge, just a generic RFID card. I kept it in my wallet and just held my wallet up to the scanner.

0.o thats a place i really dont want to work for 😛


i dont have any kind of key card for my office, but most installations i work at out in the real world im usually either escorted in or given a pass card to enter. some cities have actually given me keys to their buildings/ sites so i can let myself in, pretty cool.
 
The outside door is just buttons. The interior doors have prox cards but almost everyone uses the number pad on the sensor. I think we made it about two weeks with only sensors before management realized people needed a backup way through doors because they would leave their prox card at their desk.
 
During office hours, no. After hours, keypad to get into the building and an old fashioned key to get into the office.
