A new Raspberry Pi OS update adds a password requirement to run ‘sudo’ commands.
Version 6.2 of Raspberry Pi’s Linux distribution, released on Tuesday, disables passwordless administrator-level commands, which were previously enabled by default for the sake of ease of use, despite security risks.
“If you use sudo for administrator-level access, you will be prompted to enter the current user’s password. In the terminal, the password prompt will appear as soon as you issue a sudo command.”
