I saw this and just had to run over here and check if you guys had reached out to Google about NFC integration into this system.

I really hope it does.

I commented on the kickstarter and Rob gave me the following advice, I am having a little trouble with the actual unlocking and hoped someone could point me in the right direction.

[quote:38jt65mk]@Thomas, what do you mean by "extra verification?" a double verification -- enter password and swipe nfc; or an alternate verification -- enter password or swipe nfc?
The second one is possible if you're willing to do a little hacking. There's a 3rd party add-on to Android called Xposed Framework (requires root access) which does nothing other than to create an access point for other programs to get at some of the system processes that Android doesn't otherwise make available. Then there's an extension called NFC Unlock that uses Xposed. With NFC Unlock, your lock screen behaves normally, asking for a password if you have one set, but it will bypass the the password prompt if you scan a registered NFC tag. I've been enjoying this solution because it looks "normal," and someone trying to access the phone would have no idea that there's a way to bypass the password with NFC.[/quote:38jt65mk]

I am using a Nexus 7 running stock 4.4.2 rooted.

I have successfully registered 2 tags with the unlocker plugin, 1 with a web url and 1 with a generated passcode (by the mclear nfc unlocker app).

any further info needed please ask
