I wonder if there is a line-feed at the end of your password string? You need one, otherwise sudo will never finish reading the password, which seems to be the symptom you're experiencing.

as if the password was entered from the first run and I still have like a 5
minute ticket

sudo is designed so that you don't necessarily need to re-authenticate (because typically you use it from the shell, and you're very likely to type more than one command with "sudo" on the front, so typing the password over and over is going to annoy you). See "man sudo" for more information.

You really should consider using the security framework rather than doing this.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
