How to prompt for sudo password with ansible

Question

As suggested in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/7742

How can you make ansible prompt for the sudo password automatically without specifying --ask-sudo-pass?

Answer 1

you can use vars_prompt and prompt into ansible_become_pass to solve this! (ansible_sudo_pass for older ansible versions)

vars_prompt:
  - name: "ansible_become_pass"
    prompt: "Sudo password"
    private: yes
