Ah, so the convenience feature of "not having to take your key out of your pocket or purse" now requires "you have to take it out and put it in a sealed case when not in use".

Because we all have Faraday cages in our homes, and I'm sure the salesman who sold the car also made the customer aware of this vulnerability. /sarcasm.

Yes, most people who own cars new enough to have this vulnerability own microwave ovens.

So you have to pull your keys out of your pocket and stick them in your microwave every time you enter your house just to have the convenience of not needing to take them out of your pocket when you approach the car.

I know it's not a practical workaround. I'm just pointing out that most people do technically have a Faraday cage in their homes.

It’s gonna be fun when somebody forgets to take the fob out of the microwave before warming their coffee.

Also keep the fob in a shielded case at work and whenever you are out for shopping or entertainment.
