+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-ask-password-console.service</filename> is
+    a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such
+    as hard disk encryption keys and SSL certificate passphrases) on
+    the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure
+    proper handling of passwords necessary for boot.
+    <filename>systemd-ask-password-wall.service</filename> is a system
+    service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via
+    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>wall</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+    It is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are
+    properly notified.</para>
+
+    <para>See the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/PASSWORD_AGENTS/">developer
+    documentation</ulink> for more information about the system password logic.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>Note that these services invoke
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tty-ask-password-agent</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    with either the <command>--watch --console</command> or
