Suggestion to include a panic code within the delta chat application

Components
I am proposing the addition of a Panic Code on the delta chat application
Proposal Description
Since the delta chat application is meant for emails, and most emails I get are confidential, I’d love to propose a Panic Code feature within the settings tab. The Panic Code feature should be developed in a way that if a user initiates it with the settings tab, it become active throughout the application. Like in a situation where the user is forced to open the Delta chat application, when he inputs the Panic Code all chats should be cleared within the application’s interface.
While setting up the Panic Code, a popup should display providing users with a code field to input their desired codes which should not be more than five characters.

Benefits
The benefit of having a Panic Code feature will be a huge plus for the users and the platform itself. In times of an attack by an intruder, a user can easily protect his files from being accessed. It will also make the application more secure and protective of the user's documents.
