No lock company can be expected to harden their online systems enough to justify "unlock with an app" level access. It's bananas.
The same goes for alarm companies. ADT has been trying to get me to "upgrade" to an Internet-connected alarm brain for years. Hard pass.

We have Ring, so you’re right, we are exposing ourselves to Internet foes, but it is Ring / Amazon, so they have lots of reason to keep things secure. A key isn’t all that great at keeping secure either given you can just borrow it for five minutes and make a copy without ever taking to anyone.
