Hi @mderner-ca, thanks for reaching out. Could you verify what version of Boto3 you are using? It looks like the UpdateParticipantAuthentication operation was added in 1.35.84, and if you aren't using a version more recent than that, you would get this AttributeError.

Whoops! I was using 1.34.145, I just assumed that the default installation of boto3 on a Lambda would be up to date but it turns out that it isn't.

Thank you for pointing this out. All the best!
