The method for authorizing access to computer applications is implemented using a computer installation which includes a computer station ( 1 ) connected to an inter-computer communication network ( 9 ), a read unit ( 10 ) connected by an electric cable ( 2 ) to the station ( 1 ), and at least one personalized portable object ( 7 ) in communication with the read unit ( 10 ) for the transfer of data. The portable object ( 7 ), in particular a wristwatch, includes a memory, several positions of which for access words are kept secret by a read and/or write barrier and at least one position of which for a word is readable. The read unit ( 10 ) detects the object ( 7 ) close by, reads the readable word and commands the station ( 1 ) to connect itself onto a determined server ( 8 ) to look in a checking file to see whether the readable word forms part of a list of authorised words. In the affirmative, a password is transmitted to the station ( 1 ) so that the read unit ( 10 ) sends it to the object ( 7 ) to open the read barrier. All the access words are then sent to the station ( 1 ) to authorize the opening of the corresponding applications.
