# Passcode prompt when opening an entry

Set a passcode prompt as a safeguard before opening a Remote Desktop Manager entry, confirming with a custom message and required passcode.

Sometimes you want to ensure that your users are really opening the right session.

In the ***Events*** tab, in the ***Before connect*** section, when you select ***Message Prompt***, you will notice a ***Passcode*** field.

There is a field to enter a ***Message*** and another one for a ***Passcode*** The idea is not to add another password to launch the session, but rather to act as a safeguard. For example, you could set the message to “Warning! This is a production server. Type YES to continue.” and set the ***Passcode*** to YES.

This allows you to give just a little jolt when you attempt to launch the session.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/passcode-prompt-when-opening-an-entry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
