systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries the user
for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and SSL certificate
passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure
proper handling of passwords necessary for boot.
systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged
in users for system passwords via
wall(1). It is intended to be used
after boot to ensure that users are properly notified.
See the
developer documentation[1] for more information about the system
password logic.
Note that these services invoke
systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with
either the
--watch --console or
--watch --wall command line
parameters.
