Default OT Chipped car keys and magnets?

I have a question. I'd like to put a chipped programmed Nissan Versa
door/ignition key in one of those magnetic key containers somewhere
accessible from the outside of the car in case I lose or mislay the fob and
other key.

My question: Will the magnet damage the key and cause the programming to
not work properly?

Anyone know? Found out the hard way? The $100+ key is too exdpensive to
experiment with.

TIA


Related question for you to consider: Do the plastic magnetic car key
holders hold to the car as well as the metal magnetic car key holders?

They both have a metal magnet of course, but some have a plastic box.
