She's right to be concerned.
It's not a new concept at all.
As much as I love tech, or did anyway, you really need to be on guard against over digitalization and integration. You surrender control of that data when it leaves your possession and any crooked person with access can misuse that data.
As far as keys go, if it's not an old school key cutter that traces your own key with nothing but a power cord, my keys aren't going in it.
This is very concerning
- New key making machines scan your keys digitally and create a profile
- You can opt to have it save your key so you can access it again in the future
- Then you pay for your key with your credit card
- This means this system has a virtual copy of your key and your credit card information, meaning they can get your address
If a data leak or bad actors were involved it would be incredibly easy for someone to get your address, make a key and do whatever they’re going to do
Not all technology is progress, some is dangerous
