summary: 'Amp can now require active passkey authentication for certain operations, such as remote controlling a thread. This extra authentication factor protects you if an attacker gains access to your account and will serve as proof-of-human for future Amp features. Update (2026-06-25): We''ve removed the "sudo" term and now just call it "passkey authentication". To turn it on: enable Use Passkey Authentication and set up your passkey. Workspace admins can enforce this requirement for members. Also, some privileged workspace admin operations now always require active passkey authentication.'

Amp can now require active [passkey](https://safety.google/intl/en_us/safety/authentication/passkey/) authentication for certain operations, such as [remote controlling](https://ampcode.com/news/neo#remote-control:~:text=walk%20through%20it.-,Remote%20Control,-When%20you%20start) a thread. This extra authentication factor protects you if an attacker gains access to your account and will serve as proof-of-human for future Amp features.

**Update (2026-06-25):** We've removed the "sudo" term and now just call it "passkey authentication".

To turn it on: [enable **Use Passkey Authentication** and set up your passkey](https://ampcode.com/settings/security).

Workspace admins can enforce this requirement for members. Also, some privileged workspace admin operations now *always* require active passkey authentication.
