US Patent 11373169 Web-based activation of contactless cards

Systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and computer-readable media. A computing device may wirelessly receive a network address for a resource from a contactless card that is in an inactivated payment state. A web browser executing on the computing device may access the resource at the network address. The resource in the web browser may operate a card reader of the computing device to receive a cryptogram from the contactless card. The resource in the web browser may transmit the cryptogram to a server. The resource in the web browser may receive, from the server, a response specifying that the contactless card has been transitioned from the inactivated payment state to an activated payment state.
