Hey there @lotuspsychje! I understand your concerns. This is a new
default behavior of sudo-rs that intends to improve the user experience
of sudo, similar to how other password prompts allow you to see your
current input length. The decision was made based on the rationale that
if someone can physically see you inputting the password, then very
likely there are more significant security issues already.
However, should you feel that this does not improve your user
experience, you can disable the feature using `sudo visudo` to edit your
sudoers configuration file and then adding the line:
"Defaults !pwfeedback"
I will mark this as "Won't Fix" as this is intended behavior. Although I
appreciate you taking the time to help make Ubuntu better by filing a
bug report.
Best,
Simon
