    Multi-step timeout would be a good alternative, especially for mobile. For desktop, I have this awesome PAM set up to remove everything associated with my regular user account.

    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.

  • can you set up a locking manager so when you log in with specific username/password it doesnt let you in and just takes a photo?
    1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 7 May 2022
    This repo gives you one such tool. It triggers a script when a specific password is used, and can then hand over control to the usual unlocking process or not (as you asked for). The script is whatever you want: taking a pic, maybe transmit it over the internet, possibly including live video, audio and location, distress message, etc. The script can also erase the app, itself and the log entries, then unlocking as if nothing had happend. A downside is that, at least from the repo description and instructions, the Duress action triggers on specific user and password, not on anything but the correct combination. Still, you asked for specific user and password.

    1 project | /r/privacy | 24 Jan 2022
    So far, I've only come across one solution for Linux, called PAM Duress. It executes a script when you log in, so you'd probably need to add some actions that make the files unavailable. I haven't used it myself, as I'm a Windows user.
