Schlüsselkarte hineinstecken Explanation: Ich würde das Wort Schlüsselkarte verwenden. Deutsche sind sehr genau in der Wortwahl, und würden bei 'Schüssel reinstecken" noch nach dem tatsächlichen Schlüssel suchen! (Langjährige Erfahrung im Tourismus!) |

Schlüssel einstecken Explanation: For this context, I would not use "hineinstecken" as it is too specific (like "Schlüssel hier hineinstecken" or "Schlüssel in den Schlüsselkartenschlitz hineinstecken"). As a more general instruction, "Schlüssel einstecken" would be the correct term. |

Schlüsselkarte einführen Explanation: I agree that the Key should be named Key card if in fact it is a card, or people will seriously look for a key. I would use 'einführen' for 'insert' as it is a gentler term. Especially with appliances and cards, stecken might be done hard where einführen means to guide it in gently. Just a thought ... the others are correct, too. I hope it helps ... |
