I was more thinking of how bar staff will confirm which room you are in from a digital key on your mobile phone.

What prevents somebody from walking into hotel and running up a large bill just by flashing a screenshot of last weeks digital room key, then signing any Bill as Donald Duck, before promptly leaving?
