Sudo mode#
To maintain the security of your account when you perform a potentially sensitive action, you must authenticate even though you're already signed in.
After you authenticate to perform a sensitive action, your session is temporarily in "sudo mode". In sudo mode, you can perform sensitive actions. There is a 10-minute session timeout period before prompting you for authentication again.
sudo
"sudo" is a reference to a program on Unix systems, where the name is short for "superuser do". For more information, see sudo on Wikipedia.
Authentication#
If 2FA is enabled, you need to authenticate by providing a security code. If not, username and password authentication is required.
