minor_changes:
- become - Change the default value for `AGNOSTIC_BECOME_PROMPT` to `True` so become prompts display `BECOME password:` regardless of the become method used. To display the become method in the prompt (for example, `SUDO password:`), set this config option to `False`.

Command Line
============
Become Prompting
----------------
Beginning in version 2.8, by default Ansible will use the word ``BECOME`` to prompt you for a password for elevated privileges (``sudo`` privileges on unix systems or ``enable`` mode on network devices):
By default in Ansible 2.8::
ansible-playbook --become --ask-become-pass site.yml
BECOME password:
If you want the prompt to display the specific ``become_method`` you're using, instead of the agnostic value ``BECOME``, set :ref:`AGNOSTIC_BECOME_PROMPT` to ``False`` in your Ansible configuration.
By default in Ansible 2.7, or with ``AGNOSTIC_BECOME_PROMPT=False`` in Ansible 2.8::
ansible-playbook --become --ask-become-pass site.yml
SUDO password:
Deprecated
