Linux Mint 19 Tara - after update sudo is showing stars instead of nothing
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have Linux Mint 19 Tara and today I installed new updates of packages which you can see below in the picture. After that during sudo usage sudo shows * instead of nothing. Sudo works but this is strange, after I hit enter, stars will disappear.
$ sudo echo
[sudo] password for matej: *********
Another strange thing is with console, at first open I can write my username but password gets confirmed without my interference. So I can't login to console.

@JeffSchaller You are right! There is file /etc/sudoers.d/0pwfeedback and withlsI can see today's date. What should I do with this file? Remove it or modify it?

@JeffSchaller All right, I delted this file but still I can't log in to the console. Any idea?

After @JeffSchaller directed me to this password feedback I found that in /etc/sudoers.d is new file named 0pwfeedback with content Defaults pwfeedback. After removing this file, problem with stars in sudo was solved.
Second problem with login to console is known: ubuntu bugs but I am still trying figure out how to solve it.
