First of all, I researched and I am not talking about just the NOPASSWD option in /etc/sudoers.
Here's my /etc/sudoers file (partial):
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
## Same thing without a password
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
## Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to execute any command
# %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
## Uncomment to allow any user to run sudo if they know the password
## of the user they are running the command as (root by default).
# Defaults targetpw # Ask for the password of the target user
# ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING: only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'
## Read drop-in files from /etc/sudoers.d
## (the '#' here does not indicate a comment)
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d(I have obviously added myself to wheel).
Now if I use the NOPASSWD option, sudo works without a password, as expected. However, even if I run a normal program, like yaourt, it automatically gives it sudo permissions (I'm guessing that's because it's running with my uid). For example, I can run
yaourt -Syu --noconfirmand update packages, no confirmation at all.
What I want is for sudo to ask for a binary confirmation prompt, instead of a password.
How do I set it up that way?

yaourt most probably runs "sudo pacman", in case you weren't aware of that.

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL <<< Nope.

That's sort of the problem. When yoaurt runs sudo pacman, it gets superuser without me knowing. Any script I run will get superuser just by using sudo. I want sudo to ask for my permission, but not my password (fingerprint actually) over and over again.
