If you manually run 'systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch' in a terminal, it never returns, so could it just be that and to be expected ?
That is certainly what man systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) states.
Understood. But then, it would be normal behavior for the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent processes (spawn by systemd-ask-password-console.service) to remain running forever (and the service to remain active as well) ? : ~> systemctl status systemd-ask-password-console.service ● systemd-ask-password-console.service - Dispatch Password Requests to Console Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-ask-password-console.service; static) Active: active (running) since Mon 2024-11-25 11:20:40 CET; 12min ago Invocation: da35173973f94dddbe51fdbb335dd403 TriggeredBy: ● systemd-ask-password-console.path Docs: man:systemd-ask-password-console.service(8) Main PID: 869 (systemd-tty-ask) Tasks: 2 (limit: 56615) CPU: 21ms CGroup: /system.slice/systemd-ask-password-console.service ├─869 systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch --console └─872 systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch --console=/dev/tty1 Nov 25 11:20:40 p72 systemd[1]: Started Dispatch Password Requests to Console.
