This seems sub-optimal.

If CO's IT is to live on, I hope UA's kiosk is used.

What will I need to check-in at an airport kiosk?

To check in at an airport kiosk, you will need a major credit card, Continental OnePass Elite frequent flyer card or United Mileage Plus frequent flyer card. Select driver's licenses or passports with a magnetic stripe are also accepted. If you are unable to activate the kiosk, a Continental representative will be available to assist you.
