   is it dangerous to have the same password for root and a sudo user on a system?

     @NeonPurpleStar@outerheaven.club more dangerous than having two different.
     BTW if the sudoer get compromised, is enough to have problems

     @NeonPurpleStar@outerheaven.club honestly if you have a sudo user you should just disable the root account from logging in entirely

     @NeonPurpleStar as long as the password is solid as a root password that should be fine
     if your system is a server you should disable root-login from ssh though (just make sure sudo and ssh to your user works first :v)
     and if it's a local system then who cares, if I want your files I'll boot whichever os I please from a usb stick anyway

     @NeonPurpleStar@outerheaven.club Basically an admin account (w/ sudo permission) and the root account shall receive the same level of protection and precaution.
