Issue
I recently switched to Linux Mint 19.1.
While typing passwords in terminal it shows asterisks. How can I edit my sudoers file to disable them (not deleting but disabling)?
Solution
Just execute the script below:
sudo mv /etc/sudoers.d/0pwfeedback /etc/sudoers.d/0pwfeedback.disabled
The above line will disable the functionality of the 0pwfeedback package. Thus, the asterisks will be disappeared. Many solutions on the web are saying to delete it. Do not do that. In case you will need the asterisks back you will enable it again. This is how it must be done.
