There is really no UI/UX issue. It just needs to ask for a password for a key to decrypt. That's it. The UI is limited to either: 1, without Plymouth: A line in a framebuffer asking you to enter a password 2, with Plymouth: A box in the center of your screen that shows circles as you enter keys, expecting you to enter a password for a key. -- John M.
