I recently switched to Linux (Zorin OS) and I selected “use ZFS and encrypt” during installation. Now before I can log in it asks me “please unlock disk keystore-rpool” and I have to type in the encryption password it before I’m able to get to the login screen.

Is there a way to do this automatically like with Windows or MacOS? Zorin has biometric login which is nice but this defeats the purpose especially because the encryption password is long and tedious to type in.

Also might TPM have anything to do with this?

    as long as you don’t set a drive encryption password to be entered at BIOS load before the OS loads, which is what you’ve done.

    MacOS does ask for a different password during setup, which you never have to use again unless you want to access the drive on a different PC.
