I’m reading the readme of your project, and got to the part where it says

> for example a mail could be automatically sent from his computer to a rescuer, a script could delete sensitive files in his hard-disk or a certain Rick Astley song could be appropriately played

And I’m just imagining someone having set two duress passwords; one for kidnapping situations and one that they put there as a joke. And then they get kidnapped and they try to input the one supposed to call for help, but they misremember so they input the rickroll trigger instead.

And the kidnappers are like “hey what the hell, you think this is funny man? turn that off” and the kidnapped person cries for having messed up their one chance at calling for help.
