One password is easier than two and it feels weird to use the same password for both accounts. About half of my sudo invocations are 'sudo su' lmao.

You could probably save a process with `sudo -i`

You're entering your own accounts password, not root, when you use sudo. It's a security measure to prove our shell hasn't been hijacked and to make you pause and acknowledge your running a command that may affect the entire system.

You can also disable it in the sudoers file.

I'm not sure different passwords adds more protection for single-user machines, especially when sudo(1) can spawn root shells!
