This password can be entered in the usual early-boot prompt asking the passphrase to unlock the encrypted partition(s). . This provides a relatively stealth way to make your data unreadable in case you fear that your computer is going to be seized. . After installation, use “dpkg-reconfigure cryptsetup-nuke-password” to configure your nuke password.
