Technically you would store that shit in your Wallet app and be good to go. I wouldn’t want it for my house or car keys though.

In theory, your phone becomes a perfect multi-tool for every task. Unlock your door, start your car, swipe a credit card, shop for groceries, talk to your mom, apply for a job, show tickets for a concert or boarding passes for a plane, yadda yadda yadda.
In practice, it’s a bunch of patch-jobs cobbled together on a grid that’s over-extended and under-maintained. So, rather than a single universal digital gatekey, you get a digital janitor’s keyring with 100 different apps competing for battery life and bandwidth.

I’m not sure why. There’s nothing magical about a signal from a key when it could just as easily come from a phone.

Physical house keys don’t have signals. Cars are a bit different but you can keep your key in a Faraday cage.

Okay, but why would you want to do that?
Similarly, lots of apartment keys and office keys are just FOBs now.

Lol you cannot apply for a job with a simple tap of your phone. You can send them your CV but they’re not interested, they always want you to fill out some bespoke form which asks you all the same questions that you just answered on the CV. Then the whole thing gets fed into an AI black box and then who knows what happens.

Either that or you rely on Google for literally everything. It can be convenient but I’m growing tired of it, I don’t want my data being potentially leaked in 10000 different ways just so I can open my door easier 4% of time time.
