I just released a first version 🚀 of a new gem: Sudo Rails, sudo mode for your Rails controller. You can easily protect any Rails action with a customizable password confirmation strategy (ships with Devise and Clearance integration), just use the sudo method:

class SecretController < ApplicationController
  sudo
end

Inspired by Unix sudo command and GitHub Sudo mode.
