secure slots with key sequence (password protected slots!)

[mfiordi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I fear that if I save cards on my Chameleon, it could get lost and potentially be misused (i.e. to open locks etc).

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love to have some slots password-protected (need to enter a specific combination of A-B-B-B-A... keys to be unlocked and used.

Describe alternatives you've considered
you could have a single code before accessing any of the tags, or a code for each tag (an maybe some tags can be unprotected); you could even have 1-4 slots unprotected, and 5-8 protected

Additional context

neat idea, a dedicated attacker could probably extract the card in other ways? (eg swd)

You are right, ideally all the data should be encrypted (which I understand is very different from just implementing a sequence to activate slots); but it is also true that having some sort of protection could let who loses the Chameleon some additional time to secure the readers etc.
I am also thinking that there could be certain situations in which others not able to see/use what you cloned onto your Chameleon could be good! :)
Even something like requesting sequence if you double press button A...
like iphones requesting the code if you press a certain sequence!
I would even program a function that erases everything if you like triple press or so (but this maybe is for another issue#).

Hm, lock on double press would be interesting. Maybe needing a host to send a password to unlock..
All sound like reasonable ideas if the docs reflect, that these are more or less purely cosmetic / not actually secure...
So feel free to file a PR?

mmh, I have some coding experience but not enough to code something like the above; I am more on the UX/CX side of things;
how does it work then, should this stay open until someone able picks it up?
