DESCRIPTION

21       systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries
22       the user for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and
23       SSL certificate passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used
24       during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for boot.
25       systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all
26       logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is intended to be
27       used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified.

29       See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the
30       system password logic.

32       Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with
33       either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line parameters.
