I have used a `button` on the `dashboard` to allow a user to reset a parameter from the `dashboard`. However, I would like to force them to enter a passcode / pass key to ensure not any viewer could reset the parameter. Only the operator that is supposed to. Any thoughts? `numeric` or `text input` nodes?
