This page describes the Higgins Selector.
A card selector is a piece of software that runs on a computer or mobile device. The user can get cards from card issuing websites and can store them in this selector in much the same way a person puts business, library, loyalty and payment cards in their wallet.
- By clicking on a card you can log into sites. No more passwords.
- By clicking on a card you express yourself. No more filling in forms.
- You can share cards with friends and businesses you trust.
- Some cards create permanent connections to your friends, communities and businesses.
