[Feature] Guerrilla emergency password #2984

Open qdhj opened 11 months ago

qdhj commented 11 months ago

Is there an existing request for feature?

What feature would you like?

  1. Add a real password to lock the app, or at least a pin-code which is not related to phone's pin-code, bruh!
  2. When added, add ability to setup special pin/password, inputing which Session will show only few fake conversations (and, probably, all the real ones get deleted)

Anything else?

It would be useful if an activist of journalist, who uses Session, will get caught by the officials

Your application can be made even more secure in the event that the user is subjected to physical force (or pressure) and is required to unlock the application. This requires 2 pin codes:

No other messenger existing today has this level of protection.

Your application can be made even more secure in the event that the user is subjected to physical force (or pressure) and is required to unlock the application. This requires 2 pin codes:

  • the first pin code simply unlocks the application;
  • the second pin code will also unlock the application, but will first delete:
  1. all chats;
  2. all chats and contacts;
  3. only pinned chats (at the user's discretion)

this was or is part of the copblock design for a local app in keene NH
