I remember carrying keys, but I don’t miss it.

At the risk of prying - which i don't mean to - how does your home, vehicle (if you have one), and other physical closed locations in your life not have a physical lock that requires a key? I'm fascinated to learn! :-)

Vehicle: keyless wireless fobs are pretty common these days. Teslas also can just use your phone to unlock/start.

Home: biometric and/or combination locks.

I nearly always enter my house through the attached garage, that door has no lock. I keep a single key (with no ring) for my front door in my wallet and it's not inconvenient being buried in there because I don't use it often.

I live in an apartment in London.

In daily/weekly use:

2 x Outer front door keys (shared with apartment above) - one Yale type, one deadbolt type 2 x Apartment front door keys- one Yale type, one deadbolt 1 x Bicycle storage key 2 x Bicycle lock keys

Monthly use is another 5 keys (2 more keys for other bicycle storage plus 2 more bicycle locks, shed door lock)

Even less frequently (but more than yearly) there are another 5 more keys that I’ll need to use.

Keyless would be great but it is pretty impossible right now.

Looking at my key ring I have keys oriented in the same direction and the similar looking keys have plastic “hats” that match the colour of the doors/locks they open.
