This isn't true. Almost all "ordinary humans" manage to keep and use a pair of physical keys to there home, among other things. We only need a physical key with one simple piece of software that provides the key when asked for it, the user says yes by physically pressing a button on the key, and the key is "connected" (phy or wless). This isn't because ordinary humans can't use and manage protecting a key, it's a UX problem, and IMO a simple UX problem that hasn't been solved because it will destroy the major technological incumbents major source of revenue.
