No idea what you do about this but it’s one of my biggest fears when flying. Fortunately you have two pilots but I don’t like seeing one step out to use the restroom ever.

A flight attendant has to get in the cockpit if one goes to the restroom, they cannot be left alone.

In Europe, EASA recommends this since the Germanwings accident but it's not an actual rule, each company decides what they want to do.
