That would be a good use for a smart-watch.

Fitting keyboards with NFC devices could make it even better.

As long as the user must do something on the device to approve it, otherwise you can have proximity scanning attacks as with RFID.

Thankfully NFC can be two-way.

Or good old smart cards with smartcard reader in the keyboard again?
