Description

Full-disk encryption can require a YubiKey during early boot. Administrators use this hook when disk unlock should depend on a physical Yubico key instead of only a typed passphrase.

It is a YubiKey unlock hook, not a complete encryption setup assistant. Keep recovery passphrases because losing the key or changing hardware can block access.
