Don't be silly. All questions in everyone's life, pertaining to specific issues in each individual's life, MUST be asked of strangers on Reddit. Duh.

Ask leasing office or the building I plan to rent?

Leasing office. They usually give one per person, but you can get extra by paying.

Edit: Sorry. You can get extra fobs by paying, not keys. When we were more than 2 people, we had to duplicate the keys.

The keyme machines available there did not work for newport keys. So you’ll have better luck doing it at any local locksmith. There are a couple at NYC.

You get 372 of them on a giant keyring that you're required to have on you at all times.

Unless you call them and say you'd only like 2.

Most likely only 2. That being said most keys can be duplicated (though there’s probably a prohibition on doing so in your lease). The more difficult thing is if your building has key fobs. My Newport rental only allowed us to have 2 key fobs and refused to give us a third

I don’t think I’ve ever seen encrypted key fobs in a residential building. Maybe some on billionaires row are.

The rest can be easily cloned. Hardware for that is cheap on eBay. Or find a neighbor who already did it and ask for a favor. Give them $1 to cover the cost of the fob (they normally come in lots of 10 or so from China).

What can key fobs do? Do I need to use key fobs to enter the building?

When I lived at the ellipse I needed a key fob to enter the building. Not every building has this

Bane said it. Two keys it it.

Now, in case we're talking about counting to three, I guess we could adhere to the writings of the Book of Armaments.
