I see your point, but seems the same effort as a QR scan

Why is NFC needed in this case? Regardless of this being a potential security risk (which it is, but it’s not my point here), does it provide any additional value over a QR scan, which can easily store a URL or a contact information?

Depends on how it’s configured by the company. I’ve faced in the past the situation of having to login with the company email to be able to use the MFA with a propietary app, which meant I needed to enroll into the BYOD policy and it includes remote device management.

Ended up installing an emulator in the work laptop just for that purpose and left the company shortly after.

Haven’t seen them in any store yet, but looking at the traction that SMT had it would make sense to add them soon
