Lock Apps or Sheet(s) Inside Apps Using Password

Introduction :
My Company using QlikSense Entreprise and for 1 QlikSense User, there are many people that know the Id and Pass. 
Right now, I'm making a dashboard for financial reporting and this data is very confidential. That's mean that just few people that can access this dashboard. So my solution is LOCK the Apps or Sheet(s) inside the Apps with Password.

Ilustration : 
So when a user want to access the Apps or the Sheet(s), it will pop-up a box like this

1. https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-Qlik-Sense/Lock-the-Apps-or-Sheets-using-Password-in-QlikSense/...

2. I think, if I'm not wrong, QlikView already have this lock features (source : https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-App-Dev/Password-to-Protect-Sheet/td-p/924995)

I don't think this idea is likely to gain any traction with Qlik. You could set up a new user, only allow access to the app in question with this specific user, and only provide that user's details to the people who should have access to the app. This isn't how Qlik is supposed to work, of course - each person using Qlik Sense is meant to have their own user and you should set up access to the app only for those users who are supposed to see it - but it should provide a plausible workaround.

That's true. Another solution for this problem is to set up a new user and give it's the access to the app. 
But I think it's easier to set up passwords just for the apps, with the benefit, of course - doesn't need to buy Qlik sense user.
