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
