To get past the Alt... and password stuff, put this in /etc/sudoers,
running 'visudo' as root:

<user>	ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

It all works, with no whining, on my Buster box (and several earlier
releases).

Better still, list commands that you are happy to run as sudo withOUT 
passwd individually at the end of sudoers. eg

keith ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/....


Would I include a file manager?  Ummmm,no
