Isn’t it enough to just enter your password once to login, then receive a warning whenever you’re about to do something potentially dangerous?

If it’s such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?

I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

    You didn’t look into it enough. Edit the /etc/sudoers file if you don’t want to be asked to enter a password.

      I didn’t say I don’t want to use a password. I was simply asking why it still asks for a password every time when using sudo because the person I responded to made it sound like using sudo meant not having to enter a password.
