On level 2 of security, keys will turn the ring blue if they will fit, and turn the ring white if they won't fit.
Just because it turns blue, doesn't mean that's where it goes, unless all the other rings turn white. Then it's a matter of making sure that key only fits in one spot. If it fits in multiple spots on the same ring, you need to see which remaining picks will still work after you slot that key.
Once you get to level 4 security, you can actually remove keys in the list that will fit, but are not needed because they end up screwing you over at the end.
2. Difficulty, all you need to do is set the game to VERY HARD before you land on a planet. Once you land, all loot drops and weapon rarities will be boosted, because the area has loaded at the very hard setting.
Simply revert the game back to very easy if you like, and easily faceroll all enemies and have the best chance at legendary loot spawns despite having zero challenge.

I've encountered locks requiring a single pick and did not have a single pick in my inventory. Numerous times. I never use the single picks unless I have no choice for that reason. Perhaps it's a weird bug. I have no idea. But sounds like I have a problem others don't.
Doesn't really matter, though. Now I just quicksave before I start with the lockpicking crap. If I burn too many, I just load the save and start over. Also, I don't have level 4 lockpicking because I've got better to do with my skill selections.
