Here's the concept:

  1. Problem: Unauthorized SIM removal can lead to misuse, including bypassing device security or enabling SIM-based fraud. Currently, removing a SIM only requires a SIM ejector tool or pin, without any user authentication.

  2. Proposed Solution: Require fingerprint authentication or password input before allowing SIM tray ejection. This ensures that only the device owner can perform this action.

  3. How It Works:

    • When the user attempts to eject the SIM tray, the phone displays a prompt for fingerprint or password verification.
    • Only after successful authentication does the tray unlock, allowing removal.
    • Unauthorized attempts will block tray ejection and notify the user about suspicious activity.

  4. Benefits:

    • Prevents SIM misuse during theft or loss.
    • Protects sensitive user data tied to the SIM card.
    • Adds a layer of security for corporate and personal devices.

Allow user to lock the esim settings entirely, requiring authentication each time they acess the esim management menu.
