NFC Reader makes it easy to integrate smart cards with your daily workflow without any complex coding or integration.

Key Features:

Plug & Play: Automatically detects your connected USB Smart Card Readers.
Tap to Type: Click on any text input field on any website, tap your card, and the extension will instantly type the card's Unique ID (UID) for you.
