Description

I wanna add a password feature to invites. Currently anyone with your invite code can control your computer.

when you create an invite it should ask if you wanna password protect it

if you choose yes, you have to enter a password.

we then use the password to AES encrypt the SDP before it gets uploaded to the lobby

If you don't specify a password you should a clear warning like 'Anyone with this room name will be able to join and see your screen'

Research direction

Start by tracing invite creation, the lobby upload of the SDP, and the corresponding join flow in the Electron/WebRTC app. Determine how the optional password and AES-encrypted SDP should be handled, including the warning for unprotected invites. Done means password-protected invites require a password and unprotected invites display the stated warning.
