Short pin to accept calls #285

Open drugdeliverthatwantprivacy opened 4 months ago

drugdeliverthatwantprivacy commented 4 months ago

Is there an existing request for this?

Feature description

Hello, for a long time I have been worried about the thought of someone calling me and accidentally turning on the green phone when I want to have privacy. I also like to receive calls through MOLLY/SIGNAL. Could you add the option to put a pin (short) to accept a call/video call? , the pin would be only to avoid picking up the call by mistake, it would be equivalent to pressing the green button

Example: to take a call, enter a 4-digit pin (very short) like: 6194

Thank you for your excellent work to the developers of this app

I know it may seem absurd and someone may think just don't press the green button but it has already happened to me several times that by mistake or having the phone in my pocket the call has been accepted when I didn't want to.

Three digits is okay. Consider that it is not a main shield, it is just a layer 2 defense tool.

After 3 wrong attempts Molly ask for passphrase and end the call.
