How to Keep ‘sudo’ Password Timeout Session Longer in Linux
|
||
============================================================
|
||
|
||
In recent articles, we’ve showed you [10 Useful Sudoers Configurations in Linux][1] and [Let Sudo Insult You When You Enter Incorrect Password][2], and in this article, we discovered a another sudo tip that will help you to make sudo password sessions (timeout) longer or shorter in Ubuntu Linux.
|
||
|
||
In Ubuntu and its derivatives such as Linux Mint or any other Ubuntu-based distro, when you execute a [sudo command][3], it will prompt you to enter administrative password.
|
||
|
||
After you execute sudo command first time, the password will last for 15 minutes by default, so you don’t need to type password for every sudo command.
|
||
|
||
If, somehow you feel that the 15 minutes too long or short for some reason, you can change it with a easy tweak in sudoers file.
|
||
|
||
To set the sudo password timeout value, use the `passwd_timeout` parameter. First open the /etc/sudoers file with super user privileges using sudo and visudo commands like so:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo visudo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then add the following defaults entry, it implies that the sudo password prompt will time out after 20 minutes once sudo is invoked by a user.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Defaults env_reset,timestamp_timeout=20
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note: You can set whatever time you want in minutes and make sure to wait before it times out. You can also set time to `0` if you want a password prompt for every sudo command you execute, or disable password prompt forever by setting the value `-1`.
|
||
|
||
The screen shot below show the defaults parameters I have set in my /ec/sudoers file.

||
Change sudo Password Timeout
|
||
|
||
Save the file by pressing `[Ctrl + O]` and exit using `[Ctrl + X]`. Afterwards test if the setting is working by running a command with sudo and wait for 2 minutes to see if the password prompt will time out.
|
||
|
||
In this post, we explained how to set the number of minutes before the sudo password prompt times out, remember to share your thoughts concerning this article or perhaps other [useful sudeors configurations for system administrators][5] out there via the feedback section below.
