# Secure

The secure feature aims to prevent unwanted interaction without user intervention.

::: tip
Secure does **not** currently implement encryption/decryption/etc and should not be a replacement where a strong hardware/software based solution is required.
:::

### Unlock sequence

To unlock, the user must perform a set of actions. This can optionally be configured to be multiple keys.

* While unlocking all keyboard input is ignored
* Incorrect attempts will revert back to the previously locked state

### Automatic Locking

Once unlocked, the keyboard will revert back to a locked state after the configured timeout.
The timeout can be refreshed by using the `secure_activity_event` function, for example from one of the various [hooks](custom_quantum_functions).

## Usage

Add the following to your `rules.mk`:

```make
SECURE_ENABLE = yes
```
