Disclosed is a method and apparatus for registering physical security credentials of a user at a device ( 150 ) forming part of a networked computer system ( 100 ). The method detects ( 122, 301 ) user identifying information from physical security credentials presented by the user at the device. The device then determines ( 302 ) whether the detected identifying information exists at a reference location ( 135 ). If the identifying information does not exist in reference location, authentication of the read identifying information for the user is performed by associating the identifying information with a username and password ( 140 ) entered by the user at the device. The reference location is then updated with the authenticated identifying information corresponding to the user.
