+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-ask-password-console.service</filename> is
+ a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such
+ as hard disk encryption keys and SSL certificate passphrases) on
+ the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure
+ proper handling of passwords necessary for boot.
+ <filename>systemd-ask-password-wall.service</filename> is a system
+ service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>wall</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ It is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are
+ properly notified.</para>
+
+ <para>See the <ulink
+ url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents">
+ developer documentation</ulink> for more information about the
+ system password logic.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these services invoke
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tty-ask-password-agent</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ with either the <command>--watch --console</command> or
+ <command>--watch --wall</command> command line parameters.</para>
