sudo asking for password even though user doesn't have a password set I have a computer that doesn't not require a password. I'd like this to continue into sudo, but unfortunately it doesn't recognise a user not having a password.

According to Apple the sudo command requires a non-blank password: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202035

Is there some way I can easily override this so I can have a blank password with sudo? It's only ever a hindrance and security on this machine is not an issue. Thanks.
I found an answer that works perfectly (although it requires temporarily adding a password to your user first):


Open the Terminal

Type: sudo visudo

Enter your user's password (create one if necessary).
Change this line FROM:

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

TO:

%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

(press 'i' to enter insert mode if you can't edit the text)
Write and Quit

:wq

(press 'esc' first to enter command mode)
