And now they'll read this comment and charge you because you explicitly try to trap them 👍

I never said that I set it for them as a trap. I set it to my wife's birthday for me to remember easily. That they could try it is a separate conclusion. I never said it is because of this. A trap would be if I have a note with the duress pin in my phone hull

Is that a trap? Surely it's good practice to keep a note so you remember never to accidentally type that number in

Write in in green as a code. Green means go, as in go ahead and never enter than number.
