The other two keys were more difficult to break but they did be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that sends a passcode from the keys to the immobilizer system of the car. If the code on a chip is in line with the code on the car's immobilizer system, the car will begin.

Modern cars come with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers that use shifting or rolling codes.

When the 206 first came out in 1999, Peugeot was faced with a fierce competition from superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were created to draw sales from the more expensive 205s.
The 206 range comprises three models that include the hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and had speeds of 210 km/h.
