I think the PROFILER should have a lock function, much like locking a telephone or computer. Anyone with basic knowledge of the system can copy my entire PROFILER with just a thumb drive when I'm away from the unit for a couple of minutes, and basically steal not only hundreds of dollars worth of commercial profiles that are on it, but also my personalized rigs which took me countless hours to tweak. The lock function could be a customizable button combination for instance, required to unlock the device.
Lock the entire profiler

interesting... Basically a Password/Security code.
I don’t think I need it but it wouldnt be bad to have the Oportunity to have it

I already asked this a few years ago and got put in my place:-) It is still a good idea to be able to passcode lock the machine on stage though and simple to implement. At the height it is in my rack, there have been a few times local crew have accidentally leant into the rack on a tight stage. That moved parameters to leave me on the wrong sound at the beginning of a show.
If there is a worry about forgetting the code, it could be overridden by the editor these days.

Thanks for replying guys.
It occurred to me because a befriended guitar player actually caught a crew member making a copy of his Kemper unit while he was away for catering after soundcheck but came back to the stage to get his phone.

Far worse than surruptisiously making a copy of my Kemper, i’d be more worried about someone installing an alien backup on it.

That would be a shitty thing indeed. Or completely resetting your Kemper to factory settings, if someone knows how to access maintenance mode. All possible if it's not locked.
Good idea, it would solve the backup problem! Now we only need a way to lock the controls!
