Password or pin code protection #10

Open ghost opened 13 years ago

ghost commented 13 years ago

Suggestion:

I suggest the possibility to set a pin or a password that has to be provided every time the client is opened. This prevents someone stealing coins if you look away for a moment as well as preventing anyone from seeing my balance.

I noticed "optionally require a pin code to send money for additional security?" in the TODO list. But I think the pin code should be provided upon opening the client rather than when sending money.

This is a good idea. Thanks!
