Example of ChallengeResponseAuthentication in sshd_config

I would like to use ChallengeResponseAuthentication directive in sshd_config want to set it yes. Basically I want a user to say/type yes before he attempts provide his password.

I am wondering how it can be achieved.

While it can be more secure than just regular password authentication, ssh keys should be better.

I'm with serialband.

Personally, I'd skip working with ChallengeResponseAuthentication.

Instead, use ssh keys.
