Are they just making this up or is it true? From a key the staff have no idea what room it is associated with?
I did a fair amount of reading on this a long time ago. From what I can recall....
The keys (regardless of whether magnetic stripe of RFID) usually work based on a randomly generated code, which is assigned simultaneously to the lock on your door. So, yes, there is no info about you coded into the key.
