One password is easier than two and it feels weird to use the same password for both accounts. About half of my sudo invocations are 'sudo su' lmao.

- MadnessASAP 3y agoYou're entering your own accounts password, not root, when you use sudo. It's a security measure to prove our shell hasn't been hijacked and to make you pause and acknowledge your running a command that may affect the entire system. You can also disable it in the sudoers file.

- mbivert 3y ago> it feels weird to use the same password for both accounts I'm not sure different passwords adds more protection for single-user machines, especially when sudo(1) can spawn root shells!
