<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-ask-password-console.service</filename>
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. <filename>systemd-ask-password-wall.service</filename>
is a system service that informs all logged in users
for system passwords via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>wall</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. It
is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users
are properly notified.</para>
<para>See the <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents">
developer documentation</ulink> for more information
about the system password logic.</para>
<para>Note that these services invoke
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tty-ask-password-agent</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
with the <command>--watch --console</command>
resp. <command>--watch --wall</command> command line
parameters.</para>
