For security measures, when you run the sudo
command on Linux, the Terminal prompts you to enter your password without visual feedback as you type. Even though no character appears while you type your password, you are actually typing it.
Type the password and press Enter to see the magic happen.
If you feel uncomfortable, there are ways to make ***
appear, but it would be at your own risk. See this article (en) taught how to do it.
