I bought these, and was wondering if there is a password or read/write protection feature? People can easily erase tags using the same writer app.

I believe you can lock them, but not password protect them. Once locked I do not think you can unlock

They have strings on them but I am not sure how much information you will be able to enter on them. You can write on both the front and back of tags. I was able to write 4 to 5 lines of information on the tags.

well i have to agree with the rest "i just don't use it." since the advent of Roboform - Everywhere for i.e. Maxthon, and Last Pass for Firefox carrying around a flashdrive safe is more problematic than solution oriented. I also saw a new one on portables.com called password gorilla (untested as of this response). so there you have it. 20 bucks a year and unlimited access to all your sign-ins is verrrryy hard to beat.

By default no. It comes with a desktop application that allows you to read and write GEN 2 tags. You can also write your own apps - for example I was able to write an app to write some tags using a fixed sequence of tag ids. I guess you could write an HID driver using the API they provide but I think that would be a waste - if you're going to write your own program you might as well bypass the keyboard and write the tags read directly to the place where you need the tags (eg database, file etc).

They are like Rapidograph pens. The ink is like the ink we used to use, so it is not easy to erase. It is much more convenient than loading cartridges from a squeeze bottle.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with your pen. Mine has not scratched my iPad (3rd Gen) with or without the privacy screen. I can see how it would if it didn't have the clear disk attached to the tip, but with that in place, I have not had any trouble with it at all. I use Notability and I can change the width of the writing from fine to paintbrush-like strokes. I know there are other programs at the app store that may also serve your needs much like the one your student used (which sounds totally cool, btw). Best of luck.

They aren't GPS tags- the most you could probably do is have it set to trigger an alarm if it was removed from the NFC tag

I bought mine some time ago. I didn't need to use a password, but I remember other buyers reviews who had some sort of password issue, as you are apparently having. I'm afraid I can't be much help, it apparently depends on what kind of device you are using the keyboard with

Not sure if a small lock might be available to go through small zipper holes but why would locking it be of any value? If the concern is data being stolen then the password or fingerprint technology is there and otherwise a sharp knife and a snatch and grab are not going to foil a lock...? Sorry, maybe the question has a point but not seeing it?

I agree with the answer from Francis. Also, I don't use my tag anymore because it goes off periodically when not used. Jennifer MO

Just tried it and they work fine. I was able to wipe the marks off with a tissue. However, my pad is clear, so you might have to put a white paper behind the surface to be able to read the markings. My desk is dark and it was hard to read the writing.

Just hit the backspace button and it erases the last letter put in.Now, will someone tell me what to do when it tells you you're using an incorrect password (and you're not) and it won't let you in to change the password or do anything else. I've lost all the addresses I put in mine.

Sure, I'll be glad to explain what they are for. They are great for people who have large fingers or for those with unsteady hands (for whatever reason) who still have the need to type words into their cell phones. It is much easier for those people to take the little shaft of the stylus and use the rubberized head to "hunt and peck" than it is to use their fingers. And though many cell phones today have good word recognition programs built in, there are times when one is not free to simply tell the phone what words you want it to type. These little stylus' have a shaft that will fit snuggly into the earphone jack on most all phones but do not go so deep into the receptacle as to cause any damage. Overall, they are a good tool for those who need to use them. Hope that helps you understand what they are for.

Yes, you can write on these tags. My triathlon club writes numbers on the tags with sharpies, then we swim. Tags stay on and numbers are still read-able after the swim.

"WRITE PROTECT" sounds like a SD card issue. Do you have an SD Card installed? On SD cards there is a tiny switch you may need to slide to one side. One setting protects any content that may be on the card. The other setting unlocks it. Try that. If that does not fix the problem go to the menu that and select "format card". I hope this helps.

The copy or sketches that you do on the board are "in the moment". Think...Etch-a-Sketch.The only way to save anything is to off-load it via Bluetooth to another device.
