Ingress linking when carrying multiple keys

So I've found it's good to store key copies in containers to make it easy to drop before hacking, to get more keys. I'm just worried that if I'm carrying 2 keys and I create a link both will be used. I believe this used to happen and I'm unsure if it's still the case.

Thanks


Solution 1:

This does not happen. AFAIK this never happpened. One link consumes one key.

You also do not need to drop the container with the keys. Keeping keys in a container is sufficient to enable key hacking.
