Is there a way to require a user to wait a certain time instead of asking for a password every time he wants to execute a command as root or access the root / or another user account?

Do you mean the delay between when you need to re-enter the superuser password?
I found this via an LLM:
To change the delay before needing to re-enter your
sudopassword, follow these steps:Open the terminal and run:
sudo visudoLocate the line:
Add the following line below it:
Defaults timestamp_timeout=<time-in-minutes>Replace
<time-in-minutes>with the desired timeout in minutes (e.g.,30for 30 minutes). Setting it to0requires a password every time, while a negative value disables the timeout entirely.And did you verify this before posting?
I’m curious, why do people make these comments? If the op wanted an answer from an LLM, they would have asked an LLM…
A modern equivalent of let me google that for you, but a more obnoxious one
