[How many keys do you lose in a day?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-physical-keys-do-you-use-in-a-day/1022849)

Don’t get me started. You know me too well.

> At one point I used physical keys (metal key, turning lock cylinder) 7-8 times a day. I needed two for our condo, one for the car, and two at work, plus a few more during the day especially if I took my bike with its lock. Now, I use at most a single key for our house, and if I go through the basement I don’t even need that since we have a keypad. My car is keyless entry and ignition; no keys at work anymore. So, how may keys do you use these days? And how many did you used to use?
