DESCRIPTION
       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.
