Sometimes sudo says Password is wrong when it isn't

Hello there, I have the following problem: Sometimes(not always) when I try to use sudo and I enter my password sudo "says" it's wrong but it isn't. I still can use root via su and I wanna try open-doas. Have a great day!

Re: Sometimes sudo says Password is wrong when it isn't

Welcome to the forums.  No suggestions, but gathering information.  What keyboard layout are you using?  Are you logged into a windows session?  Are you in a console session? Are you using ssh to connect to the system?

I use english_us as my keyboard layout and I am using Qtile(X11, not as Wayland compositor). Btw open-doas is working

EDIT: should I post my sudoers?
EDIT 2: now sudo magically works again...
