Secure device sharing

A computing device comprising:

• a display;
• an input device;
• a processor coupled to the display and input device, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive, via the input device, a software lock request;
• in response to receiving the software lock request, display on the display, a picklist of a plurality of applications executable on the computing device;
• receive, via the input device, selection of one or more impermissible applications from the plurality of applications executable on the computing device or one or more permitted applications from the plurality of applications executable on the computing device;
• and
• enter a locked state, wherein in the locked state, access is not permitted to the one or more impermissible applications and access is permitted to other applications of the plurality of applications executable on the computing device.

A non-transitory machine readable medium having tangibly stored thereon executable instructions for execution by a processor of a computing device, wherein the executable instructions, in response to execution by the processor, cause the computing device to receive, via an input device of the computing device, a software lock request;

• in response to receiving the software lock request, display on a display of the computing device, a picklist of a plurality of applications executable on the computing device;
• receive, via the input device, selection of one or more impermissible applications from the plurality of applications executable on the computing device or one or more permitted applications from the plurality of applications executable on the computing device;
• and
• enter a locked state, wherein in the locked state, access is not permitted to the one or more impermissible applications and access is permitted to other applications of the plurality of applications executable on the computing device.
