       A 'no echo' mode has been added to sudo in Ubuntu 26.04. It lets you hide password asterisks (visual feedback) when you type your sudo password.Press TAB to toggle between feedback (shows asterisks) and no echo (no feedback).GIF demo below shows the default visible behaviour first, then I re-run a sudo command and activate no echo mode with TAB (no password feedback).#Ubuntu #Sudo

       @omgubuntu This means everyone will now be able to read my twelve-character password that consists of twelve asterisks.

       @omgubuntu It's been ages that GNU/Linux OSes don't output de the sudoer and root passwords as you type it in a terminal…Even ubuntu (and Mint) used to hide them by default… It's a "modern" ubuntu/Linux mint specific thing to echoing password lengths in terminal…That's basically additional code in a sensitive piece of software that lacks containers/contributions, for what exactly ? Except adding back what already existed before but ubuntu decided to break just because…
