Hi Ethan,

In "emacs -Q", no password is created automagically, for a reason. Move
your init file away, and call "emacs" instead.

That's different from what I have recommended for test. Please use
(setq auth-sources '("secrets:Login")) instead, we don't want to be
intermixed with "~/.authinfo" actions.

Fine. And to be *really* sure, call also "M-x auth-source-forget-all-cached",
before you open "/sudo::".
