Hi Jonas,

unfortunately I still experience the same problem: after the usplash
timeout, the passphrase I enter is in cleartext.
However, I discovered something: when I then enter a wrong passphrase
the first time, I get prompted a second time and then the passphrase is
not in cleartext anymore...

I hope that helps.

Cheers, Daniel
