<para><command>pam_systemd_loadkey</command> reads a NUL-separated password list from the kernel keyring,
and sets the last password in the list as the PAM authtok.</para>
<para>The password list is supposed to be stored in the "user" keyring of the root user,
by an earlier call to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-ask-password</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
with <option>--keyname=</option>.
You can pass the keyname to <command>pam_systemd_loadkey</command> via the <option>keyname=</option> option.</para>

During boot,

stores a passphrase or PIN in the keyring.
The LUKS2 volume key can also be used, via the <option>link-volume-key</option> option in

<title>Example</title>
<para>This module is intended to be used when you use LUKS with a passphrase, enable autologin in the display
manager, and want to unlock Gnome Keyring / KDE KWallet automatically. So in total, you only enter one password
during boot.</para>
<para>You need to set the password of your Gnome Keyring/KWallet to the same as your LUKS passphrase.
Then add the following lines to your display manager's PAM config under <filename>/etc/pam.d/</filename> (e.g. <filename>sddm-autologin</filename>):</para>
<programlisting>
-auth optional pam_systemd_loadkey.so
-auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
-session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
-session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
</programlisting>
<para>And add the following lines to your display manager's systemd service file, so it can access root's keyring:</para>
<programlisting>
[Service]
KeyringMode=inherit
</programlisting>
<para>In this setup, early during the boot process,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
will ask for the passphrase and store it in the kernel keyring with the keyname <literal>cryptsetup</literal>.
Then when the display manager does the autologin, pam_systemd_loadkey will read the passphrase from the kernel keyring,
set it as the PAM authtok, and then pam_gnome_keyring and pam_kwallet5 will unlock with the same passphrase.</para>
