    You could install a second power switch inline with the first. If both are momentary contact then you’d have to press both at the same time to turn it on(or hold one, etc).

    I’ve never actually needed on of these but they keep showing up in movies/games…so I’d vote this. Toggle it on then press the normal button. You could leave it on to keep the regular button working or toggle it off and disable it.

      We used to call those missile switches. Probably still do

      Ed. A search on my local electronic components shop’s site returned nothing on a search, but scrolling the 211 items in category “switches” found a missile switch cover (to suit toggle switches) as #86, so yes, we still do

      Ed the second. Thingiverse shows many printable missile switch covers for diverse switch types

      Sounds like you need a small electrical project then!
