The change affects only new installations - existing setups are untouched. Using the sudo prefix to run a command with administrator privileges will now prompt for a password; enter it wrong, and the command is refused. Previously, any user could run sudo commands as an administrator without authentication. It's convenient, and has always been the default yet it is an obvious security risk as anyone with access to the machine could cause serious harm. Once an admin enters the password correctly, the system won't prompt for it again for the next five minutes, so multiple sudo commands in a row stay frictionless.
