Sudo can/usually does ask for password - but if you're feeling lucky you can use sudo without a password.

(Currently doing that after repeatedly failing to install an OS and have not yet felt compelled to change it back).

Most systems I use will keep a sudo authentication session open for several minutes, so you don't have to repeatedly enter your password on every single command.

It's a great feature - a necessary feature even. Tired using doas Linux port and that feature isn't supported - it was depressing.
