Still, justifying the change on security grounds is rather dubious: an attacker who compromises your non-root account can capture any password you enter via it with the aid of a keylogger and some patience, so in practice the password requirement is more like a speedbump than a barrier. If you don’t like a default configuration you can change it. -- https://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/
