balkamtech: How To Make Sudo Command Passwords Visible in the Terminal

Whenever you use sudo on Ubuntu, the terminal will ask you to enter your user password.

That's a great security measure.

But here’s the trick for make visual feedback as you type in your password.

Open a new Terminal window (Ctrl + Alt + T) and enter the following command:
```
sudo visudo
```
Search or use your keyboard navigation keys to move to the line that reads:
```
Defaults env_reset
```
Move to the end of this line and add the following text so that it reads:
```
Defaults env_reset,pwfeedback
```
Press Ctrl + X to complete the edit, followed by Y and Enter to save the changes entered

That’s all. Next time you use sudo you’ll see little asterisks appear as you enter your password.
