When you often need to run other commands as root using sudo, you may need to type the password every time. Although the session "remembers" the previously entered password for a while, we don't have to retype it for a while, but we need to re-identify ourselves after a while. Also, if you work with multiple users, you will need our passwords more often.

In this short description, we will look at how to persistently avoid asking for a password when using sudo.
