It also prevents running certain commands without re-entering your password, as your temporary elevation is cleared. For example, once you successfully use `sudo` and enter your password, the system grants you a "grace period" (a 15 mins timestamp, configurable in the /etc/sudoers file) during which you can run subsequent `sudo` commands without re-entering your password. Make it habit to clear it or disable the grace period in the `/etc/sudoers` by setting the `timestamp_timeout=0` option (2/2)
