# What's the passphrase method?

To disable protection you must type out a long, random phrase in full. There is no shortcut and no copy-paste. The deliberate effort is the point. By the time you have typed it, the unlock has become a conscious choice rather than a reflex, which is usually enough to stop it.

## Specifics

- It works on the same principle as the cooldown, but trades waiting for effort.
- Good for people who would simply wait out a delay but will not sit and type.
