Although if the signal is vulnerable to a replay attack just like that, it was a woefully poor design to begin with.
It's why a lot of garage door systems don't use a fixed code, but something more like 2FA codes, where it changes each time it's used.
You'll get no disagreement from me. I feel the same way about RFID ID tags. I remember seeing a CSI episode once where girls were getting RFID chips implanted in their wrists or something and using that to pay door fees and tabs at bars. I would never. I can and have cloned an RFID badge (to avoid paying $80 to my apartment complex for a badge that was inaccessible because it fell into a crevice of a locker at a gym), and I gotta tell ya, it doesn't take enough time for me to be comfortable using it as a security feature for most anything.
