I don't know what's normal now but a long time ago, 1997, I moved with a complex with 300 garages each with a remote. I opened the remote to change the battery and noticed only 8 switches for the code. 256 codes, 300 garages, drove around the complex opened 2 other garages. Even at 12 bits with 300 garages the odds are very high of a match

Weird. I did something very similar in the same year.
