Hello there ladies and gentlemen, heres another cool QMK project.

In this video I will show you guys how to configure and setup my password protection feature I wrote and a short coding session where I add a bypass for said password protection feature.

You will need to type in your password before the keyboard sends anything to the OS.

You will need to create a secrets.c and secrets.h file. The contents of which are shown in sharedDefines.h. This is so that you don't commit your password to github :). This also however prevents the firmware from building until those files are created.

Keyboard will also autolock after 5 minutes. It uses the same timer as the rgb timeout.

There is also an optional password entering animation if #define SHOW_UNLOCK_ANIMATION. But it should be commented out for increased security.

Keyboard can also be locked manually with Leader L.

In this video we also add in password bypass. When active you won't need to enter the password when the leds turn off. If locking manually via the leader key, you will still need to enter the password as you took initiative to lock it. Whereas if the rgb times out you will not need to enter the password.

Coding the Bypass Feature starts at 20:56
