1. A method for authenticating users on a packaging industrial system comprising at least two operator interfaces, comprising the following steps:
login of a user to a personal portable item, wherein the personal portable item comprising a memory with login credentials of the user for the at least two operator interfaces, wherein the login credentials for the operator interfaces being different from each other,
activation of the memory for a period of time,
detecting the user when the user is in a predefined spatial area around the operator interfaces,
connecting the personal portable item to an operator interface when the user is detected in the predefined spatial area, and
authentication of the user at the operator interface with the login credentials stored in the memory via the connection of the personal portable item to the operator interface, wherein the login credentials stored on the memory are managed via synchronisation with a central rights management, and wherein the activation of the memory is blocked if the synchronisation with the central rights management has not taken place for a predefined period of time.
