Is it possible to perform password authentication on STSAFE-A before any operations are executed?

Greetings,

I am working on a Hardware-based password manager. When the device is first setup, A 512-Bit key is created which is used to encrypt & decrypt the passwords. This key will be stored on STSAFE-A's Symmetric Key Table and the password can be encrypted/decrypted using this key on the STSAFE-A.

Now, I want to be able to set a user specified password on the STSAFE-A and then this password will be used by STSAFE-A to authenticate before performing any encryption/decryption/etc operations. After a set amount of wrong attempts, STSAFE-A should erase the key.

Is this achievable?

Regards,
Aditya M.
