swipe cards
Magnetic entry passes
Swipe cards are plastic cards with magnetic stripes that grant access when swiped through a reader—typically for entering buildings, hotel rooms, or restricted areas.
The term also covers the action of using them: Don't forget to swipe your card at the door.
Largely replaced by tap cards and key fobs, though the name persists.
