[Suggestion]Free Company/Chest Security Passcodes.

What I would like to suggest is the addition of a numerical passcode to access core functions of the Free Company/Company Chest. Something that only long term members would have access to and people who would intend to stay and as such should stop item theft or at least prevent the majority of it.

Additionally wanted to suggest making it that once enabled in Free company to turn it off would also require the passcode for functions such as relinquishing the plot, Ranking/Adding/Removing members of the FC .

Ex. a New FC chest tab called "Lockbox", Gil can be placed inside of it and any items or Gil placed within would require a 5-digit passcode to access and take. The 5 original boxes would work as normal just a brand new Tab specifically for Gil/important items.

the point of how permissions are set in an FC is to prevent such a need. so if you still have issues with items being stolen, than you obviously have not set your permissions right or you are promoting people into roles of power that shouldn't be and can't be trusted not to do something like that, thus have not earned said trust and should not have been promoted.

the reason not to have such a requirement of needing a passkey is that if those who have it vanish for one reason or another, than you just crippled your FC without a way to fix it. it would than not be the game giving those with these roles the passkey but a specific person/people who, if they vanish, no longer give out this info, without which causes more problems than it helped resolve.

If its an in-game feature, I'd think the fc leader didn't need it/could reset it

I would like to see the option to set limited withdrawals. Like 1-per day (food/freebies chest?) or 20k gil per day. To help new players who need some quick gil or cover repair/teleport costs. Instead of the all-or-nothing withdrawal setup rn.

they already were saying the code would be needed to remove its use but if it wasn't, if people like the FC leader or others who knew the code vanished, than those functions requiring its use are gone, crippling the FC as a whole. Plus you could even have a situation where only say a subset of a given rank had the code that the rank as a whole should have for whatever reason. But think of it this way, if the fc leader vanished for long enough and the rank reverted to someone who didn't have the code but maybe could in theory remove it, than we are back to another security issue.

This all comes back to an FC that is not only set up incorrectly and very poorly but an FC promoting people into ranks of power they shouldn't have and that if those issues were corrected, the need for a password of any kind would not be needed.
