new laptop here, and I decided to install Leap 15.4 with full disk encryption, no LVM (a feature I wanted to have for years, so I'm happy). It asks for the password twice (contrary to my customs, I'm using plymouth). It asks once before grub loads. Well, ok, there is no separate /boot, so it has to read "/" which is encrypted. Nice. But after selecting the boot entry in grub, it asks again. Once, despite being 3 partitions ("/", "/boot" and swap). Ok.
doesnt the official opensuse pages state about the situation about double entry of passphrases. i have double passphrase questionaire as well with 15.4 fresh install via the propsed partition setup on a notebook. btrfs or something and the snapshot filesystem stuff and all. not expert though
The article mentions having each partition with a different encryption key. Andrei thought I would have different passwords on each. The idea of doing that never occurred to me. Something must be eluding me: why having different password or keys for partitions in the same disk?
The only downside to two identical passwords I can imagine is that an observer has two chances to see what you typed.
