Show Asterisks(*): Sudo Password in Linux

We have seen most of the time that while typing the password for sudo command nothing is shown, sometimes its confusing whether we have typed anything or not, if we typed how many characters we have typed.

Example:

so in the above snapshot, we can see no typed password information we can see.

How can we asterisks while typing the password for sudo command:

• Open the file

sudo vim /etc/sudoers
or 
sudo visudo

• Add the line

Defaults pwfeedback

• After adding above line do reset.

 reset

• After reset you will start seeing password with asterisks while using sudo command.

That’s it.
