Channel locks restrict who can send messages in a channel by requiring authentication. SecurityBot supports two lock types: Password and 2FA (MFA). When a lock is active, all messages in the channel are automatically deleted and users must authenticate via a button to unlock.

/lock create lock_type: Password/lock toggleUsers must enter the correct password to access the channel. When creating a password lock, a modal prompts you to set the password.
Users must have 2FA registered and provide a valid TOTP code to access the channel. The creating user must have 2FA registered before creating an MFA lock.
Discord does not support hidden input fields. Your password or 2FA code will be visible while typing -- make sure no one can see your screen.
/lock createRun this command in the channel you want to lock. You will be prompted to configure the lock via a modal (password entry for password locks). For MFA locks, SecurityBot validates that you have 2FA registered first.
/lock togglePresents an authentication modal (password or MFA code depending on lock type). Toggles the lock between active and inactive states. When inactive, normal messaging resumes.
/lock updateChanges the password for a password-type lock. Presents a modal to enter the new password.
Only password locks can be updated. MFA locks cannot have their configuration changed.
/lock removeShows a confirmation embed with "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons before permanently removing the lock from the channel.
