Ich bin kein @ubuntu Fanboy aber ich mag @rust und deswegen sehe ich deren Einsatz sehr positiv.

💬 sudo-rs Changes Default Password Prompt Behavior

｢ Now, when users type their password during authentication, the terminal displays asterisks (*) instead of staying visually silent. The sudo-rs maintainers describe the change as a usability improvement ｣

sudo-rs Changes Default Password Prompt Behavior

A recent sudo-rs commit changes the default sudo experience by enabling visible feedback as you type passwords, replacing the long-standing no-echo prompt.

I was reading some discussion on the sudo-rs now showing asterisks.

I don't hate that it does. I don't find that the rational to keep the typing hidden is really that strong. It reads like making a case for security by obscurity. Something which we all in the #foss world would already agree is a flaw.

Most traditions outlive their usefulness and assumptions that made them. Maybe this says we need more than just long passwords in systems that use sudo.
