People with bulky keychains often just throw them in their bag or purse and it can be annoying to fish them out.
I personally put a very high value on having a minimal keychain and wallet since I rarely carry a bag with me. The goal is to someday live in a state with Apple Wallet drivers’ license support, in a house with NFC smart locks, driving a car with Apple Car Key, at which point I could finally completely jettison my keys and my MagSafe wallet. I don’t want to carry physical keys when I’m already constantly carrying a device with a Secure Enclave and biometrics.
- brk 1y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted, I'm exactly the same. House locks are already electronic/automated, haven't carried a physical house key in year. Cars use fobs, for newer vehicles there is no option for physical keys anyway. When I leave the house I take my phone, plus the solo fob for whatever vehicle I am driving. I have no desire to have a ring of multiple physical keys and fobs with me.

- marxisttemp 1y agoWhat is Rube Goldberg about storing passkeys on a phone? Would you not call a physical lock system based on notches cut into metal a Rube Goldberg machine?
- marxisttemp 1y agoThe downvotes are likely due to me obviously being an Apple cultist ;)
- blacksmith_tb 1y agoA beautiful aspiration, until you lose or break your phone...
- vel0city 1y agoPeople lose wallets. People lose car keys. My PaaK car has a backup passphrase to start it. I can be used in a pinch if my phone isn't working. I can't say the same if I lose my car key. If I go on a long trip I'm likely to bring multiple car keys and multiple payment methods. This is still true if I'm doing PaaK.
- cholantesh 1y agoAnd people don't lose phones?
- vel0city 1y ago> My PaaK car has a backup passphrase to start it Cars that need a physical cut key to go into a cylinder don't usually have backup passphrases.
- ethagnawl 1y agoNo, but you can ziptie spares of said keys to an inconspicuous location on the vehicle -- just the valet key or the door key, depending on your tolerance for risk and whether or not the car came with them. (Credit to DeviantOllam for the idea.)
- vel0city 1y agoCars should have pin pads to unlock them. They're so useful on my Fords.
- blacksmith_tb 1y agoThey do, and obviously it's a huge headache. But now we can imagine a bright future where you can lose both, and your normal way to try and get help, all at once!
