Ability to modify alarms while locked

I've noticed no one can fix this problem and it's probably because the people answering you don't even use the alarm in the clock app. Disabling access to control center is not helpful. You see, what happens is that you get a notification when your alarm goes off, after you hit snooze. Touching this notification opens the clock app immediately without having to enter passcode and allows you to shut off that alarm or reconfigure the time it will ring again. It also may allow super users to change the actual time on the phone as well. So please, iphone support people, just try the alarm and have it go off and hit the snooze button and you will understand what the problem is.

So I've got a workaround for everyone. Set multiple alarms ten minutes apart and when they start to ring, just hit the dismiss button and no more notification allowing other people to mess with your alarms. Also, disable control center on lockscreen so they can't go in that way either. Even in 'Lockdown Mode', people can screw with you after hitting snooze, which I'm finding hard to swallow, but after all, it's an apple.

For the persone who reacts in their sleep, when setting your alarms, you have the ability to toggle off 'snooze'. Doing this will ensure the alarm can only be dismissed when it goes off and no notification will appear. It's the notification that gives people access and clock/alarm notifications can't be turned off anywhere so setting multiple alarms seems to be the only answer.
