Hi, I'm pleased to introduce a new feature for openSUSE Tumbleweed: disk auto-unlocking with TPM 2.0. In short, it boots the encrypted root without asking for a passphrase.

What is the actual use case for that? I'm encrypting my disk to protect it in case the Notebook gets stolen or otherwise lost. When it is auto-unlocked, everybody with access to my computer can read the data. Or am I missing something? Is there another protection mechanism before the disk is unlocked?
