What is this?
NFC Bridge is a small Chrome extension that forwards a secure session from the insta ID iOS app to your desktop browser. You hold the card against the phone, scan the QR code from the PC, and the extension opens the portal already logged in — with the same card you would use directly from the phone.
- Privacy-first — the token never leaves your browser, kept only in memory while the session is active.
- Cross-platform — works on Windows, macOS and Linux, one extension for all.
- Install once — afterwards just scan the QR and you are in the portal.
- Open-source — you can inspect and build the code yourself.

Security
- The token never goes to an insta ID server — the extension communicates only inside your browser.
- The card private key stays on the eID chip; nothing is extracted.
- The extension is open-source — code is public on our Gitea repository.
- The session is wiped when you close the browser; nothing is written to disk.
