First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to;
determine one or more prerequisites for accessing a computing device that is physically shared by a plurality of users, the one or more prerequisites including an authentication and selection of a user name;
subsequent to authentication of a first user, identify a first user name associated with the first user;
subsequent to authentication of a second user, identify a second user name associated with the second user;
receive the first user name as a selected user name from a group including the first user name and the second user name; and
subsequent to receiving the selected user name, launch one or more applications based on the selected user name, wherein the authentication and selection of the user name satisfy the prerequisites for accessing the computing device that is physically shared.

Abstract
A system and method provide automatic access to applications or data. A portable physical device, referred to herein as a Personal Digital Key or “PDK”, stores one or more profiles in memory, including a biometric profile acquired in a secure trusted process and uniquely associated with a user that is authorized to use and associated with the PDK. The PDK wirelessly transmits identification information including a unique PDK identification number, the biometric profile and a profile over a secure wireless channel to a reader. A computing device is coupled to the reader. An auto login server is coupled to the reader and the computing device and launches one or more applications associated with a user name identified by the received profile.
