Token2 Desktop USB Contact IC Chip Reader
Reliable stationary smart card reader for secure contact chip card operations. The Token2 Desktop USB Contact IC Chip Reader is a robust, full-size smart card reader built for comfortable, frequent use at workstations, offices, and service counters. With its stable angled design and extended cable, it provides reliable reading of contact-based smart cards in authentication, banking, government ID, and enterprise security applications.
FIDO2 over ISO 7816 (Contact IC Cards – Windows Only)
Unlike USB keys (touch the sensor) or NFC cards (tap), contact IC cards used via a smart card reader need to be removed and reinserted to complete authentication. FIDO2 over ISO 7816 has been implemented on Windows only; other operating systems are not fully supported, and we do not recommend using this device with anything other than Windows 11.Unlike USB and NFC transports, ISO 7816 is also not supported by libfido2 or fido2-manage tools. Device management must be performed using the Token2 Companion App.
