  24                 is a system service that queries the user for system
  25                 passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and SSL
  26                 certificate passphrases) on the console. It is
  27                 intended to be used during boot to ensure proper
  28                 handling of passwords necessary for
  29                 boot. <code class="filename">systemd-ask-password-wall.service</code>
  30                 is a system service that informs all logged in users
  31                 for system passwords via

  33                 is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users
