[Bug 876626] Re: Unlocking the second crypto disk (/home) echos password on console

[Steve Langasek]

ilf, this bug is a corner case.  It only affects users who are using
encryption on a volume *other* than the one containing their root
filesystem, only when these filesystems are mounted at boot time, and
only when they are opting not to use the default plymouth splash
interface.  I have been using encrypted filesystems on my laptop
continuously since at least 2007 and like most users of cryptsetup am
entirely unaffected by this bug.

So while it's important for us to fix this, it is not a release blocker
by any means, and has been given a corresponding priority within the
development team.

If you disagree with the timeline, you can try to persuade a developer
in the community to do this work, or you can contract someone to do the
work.  But whether or not you elect to do this, please stop harranguing
the developers.  That's not what the bug tracker is here for.

** Description changed:

  Boot
  
  1.) Enter crypto phrase for /
  2.) ... init things...
  3.) Enter crypto phrase for /home
  
  On 3rd the password is echoed as such, only after pressing enter it prints the passwords again with stars.
  Enter passphrase: ABCDEF ENTER
  Enter passphrase: *******
