And I'm now 99% sure that the culprit of all this confusion is... plymouth! It has a password caching facility and systemd seems to use it to get the cached password.
Almost certainly, yes, although, if plymouth is passing the password through to systemd, then it need not be caching it itself, as systemd caches disk passwords for a short while (I think 5 minutes if I recall correctly). See systemd-ask-password(1) for an introduction to the architecture of systemd's password stuff. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
