How many times have lost your house keys and needed to break the window and change the lock?
- horsawlarway 4y agoTwice in college, where I needed to have a roommate let me in. Once at my first home, where I climbed in through the bathroom window (this was a PITA - it was some 12 feet off the ground and just barely big enough to get through. Once at my current home, where I just used the porch door that I literally never lock. ---- And I'm actually pretty good about not losing my things. But over a 20 year span, I would have been permanently locked out of digital accounts 4 times if you want to play this game. For me, that's a complete non-starter. So recovery flows will HAVE to exist. At that point, we're right back to where we are now, where I'm much less worried that someone is going to crack the salt+hash of my password, and I'm much more worried that someone will call customer support and pretend to be me.
- brookst 4y agoWow. You are definitely many standard deviations from the norm! But all of these digital techniques also allow multiple keys and / or key recovery.
- counttheforks 4y agoNah, I think you might be. Most people I know have locked themselves out once or twice.
- brookst 4y agoLike, to the point of having to replace locks?
- counttheforks 4y agoYou can get a locksmith to come pick the lock

- jrochkind1 4y agoI've never needed to break the window. I needed to call a neighbor who I had left a spare key with once, when I got mugged and my keys were stolen.
