Do you not have to lock or unlock the door to where you live?

    electronic lock with a code. so much better than needing to bother with keys

    the only keys I need to deal with in my life are car, mail box, and heavy duty bike locks. it's great.

    What happens if the power goes out and you're locked outside?

    if there is a battery failure, you can use a 9V battery to provide temporary power to the lock. so I keep a couple in the garage behind another electronic lock. and if that fails, I'll borrow a 9V battery from a neighbour

    Correct. I have a digital deadbolt lock on my unit door I can activate with my phone or a code, and my building has a code to enter. I live in a city so don’t have a car, plus I use tap to pay on my phone, so pretty much all I ever have on me is my phone. No bag, sometimes no pockets.

    Edit: Also I work from home, so no work badges, keys, etc.
