I have setup my fedora to use LUKS encryoted partitions. But entering two passwords gets quite tiring, as I shutdown my laptop quite often to get the benefit of LUKS (I am assuming nothing is encrypted when in suspend, please correctme if I am wrong)
I am thinking about setting up TPM autodecrypt. However, I was wondering does the decryption happen on boot or after I login?
If it happens on boot, then it seems like the benefit is pretty limited compare to a unencrypted drive. Since the attacker can simply boot my laptop and get the unecrypted drive.
Am I missing something here? I was wondering is there a way for me to enter my password once and unlock everything, from disk to gnome keyring?
I’m assuming the two passwords are the LUKS one and then your login, which you can remove by just configuring your login manager to do auto-login (no attacker will be able to access your data anyway if it’s encrypted, logged in or not).
Unfortunately, the gnome keyring will not be able to be unlocked in this way.
