    It's actually quite simple and readily available with PAM duress [0] (at least on Linux, I'm not sure about PAM on Mac). It was also discussed here already [1]. Still, you should consider that doing so might not work in your favor.

    [This](https://github.com/nuvious/pam-duress) pam module will not work on gentoo for some reason. I have used the (arch instruction's)[https://github.com/nuvious/pam-duress/blob/Issue-29-ArchDocs/docs/ArchLinux.md] to mitigate the common-auth problem and have copied the library from `/lib/security` to `/lib64/security` (it was not getting found in `/lib/security`) but it still refuses to work. Any ideas?

    Hey, saw this as mentioned earlier and incorporated your feedback and one other commenter that pointed out a privilege escalation vulnerability. If you have a spare moment would appreciate your critique on the resolution to your concern and/or any other issues you see generally with the codebase. Just a request though, regardless thanks for your feedback!
