    - systemd-cryptenroll now supports unlocking via FIDO2 tokens.
    It was possible to do something like
    Code:
    sudo systemd-cryptenroll --fido2-device=auto /dev/md1
    way before this release. What changed?

      It's been possible for a while: https://0pointer.net/blog/unlocking-...stemd-248.html
      Not sure what's new here.

        My recollection is that enrolling a FIDO2 token no longer requires setting a password, and multiple FIDO2 tokens are supported.

          "UKify"? What's that? The services start logging with a cockney accent? Or they act like chavs?

            Someone explained it in a previous thread: it changes your desktop background to the Union Jack, puts all windows controls on the left side and renames the logout option as Brexit

              what does this mean? this sounds like possible issues when booting as main OS.

                  I love the joke, but just in case the question part was for real, it's a way to say "create a Unified Kernel Image (UKI)", which is simply putting the kernel, initrd and microcode in the same package and signing it.
