Pilots 2 - how to save the user's token to an USB, NFC card or QR code

The instructions on this page are also valid for the third pilot.

Saving the token to a USB

• Open Notepad (or a similar plain text editor).
• Write the token in the document in the Notepad.
• Save the document as .gpii-user-token.txt in the root folder of the USB.

Saving the token to a NFC card

In Windows 7

• Download GoToTags from the page at http://support.gototags.com/hc/en-us/articles/200330206-Download-the-GoToTags-Windows-NFC-App.
• Open GoToTags
• Click on the 'Add a New Record' button in the main screen of GoToTags

• Select the 'Plain Text' option

• Write the token in the Text* text area

• Click on 'OK' once you have written the token

Note: If NFC tags written with GoToTags cause error messages when logging in on Linux, consider using the Android app (below) instead.

In Fedora 20
