The present disclosure relates generally to a computing device, a method implemented on the computing device, and a non-transient computer-readable storage medium that stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of the computing device to execute the method. The computing device includes one or more input devices for providing
user input on the computing device; and a processor operatively coupled to the one or more input devices and configured to execute the method. The method includes detecting an initiating first
user input on a computing device for requesting an operation, the operation initially being in a locked state; detecting a second
user input on the computing device, the second user input comprising a number of input steps via a first
input device coupled to the computing device; if the second user input does not correspond to the predefined mode, maintaining the operation in a locked state, the locked state preventing
initiation of the operation; Transitioning an operation from a locked state to an unlocked state if the second user input corresponds to a predefined mode; And initiating an operation on the computing device in response tothe operation being in an unlocked state.
