[SOLVED] How do I have disk encryption password characters echoed?

I don't need to hide my disk encryption password when starting up. Hiding it just makes things harder for me. Plymouth will echo dots, but I want to see the characters.

For the sd-encrypt hook you can add password-echo=yes to rd.luks.options. For the encrypt hook and plymouth, it doesn't look like there's a way to change it.

Thank you. That's what I wanted. I saw that in the wiki, but I thought 'password-echo=yes' would show asterisks, which is the default behavior.
