@kyletcook yes, this can be quite annoying, this is something that vagrant does by default when using the host manager plugin. Follow the instructions below to remove the need of having the password dialog shown.

Password-less Sudo

To avoid being asked for the password every time the hosts file is updated, enable password-less sudo for the specific command that host-manager uses to update the hosts file.

• Add the following snippet to the sudoers file (e.g. /etc/sudoers.d/vagrant_hostmanager):

  # Allow passwordless startup of Vagrant with vagrant-hostsupdater.
  Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD = /sbin/nfsd restart
  Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD = /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/exports
  Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE = /usr/bin/sed -E -e /*/ d -ibak /etc/exports
  Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_HOSTS_ADD = /bin/sh -c echo "*" >> /etc/hosts
  Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_HOSTS_REMOVE = /usr/bin/sed -i -e /*/ d /etc/hosts
  %admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_NFSD, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE, VAGRANT_HOSTS_ADD, VAGRANT_HOSTS_REMOVE
