so i recently started using luks and while for the first few times it seemed to ask me for the encryption password at this point it only prompts for admin password when mounting the volume. I couldn’t find out why that is, where the password is stored or how to change this behavior so I’m kindly asking here.
Possibly gnome-keyring? Install seahorse for a graphic interface.

Or it is stored by gvfs - the folder ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata contains
ah thanks, that worked.
As far as I recall - I don’t access my LUKS encrypted disk very often - when you first access the volume and give the password to open it, you are given three options:
- to forget the password immediately
- to remember it for this session
- to remember it permanently
I don’t know what the default is, but you could choose to not store it at all or after the desktop session is closed.
that’s the weird thing, I would have never selected to save the password. As far as I remember I opted save for session, or even don’t save at all.
But I guess the only logical explanation is user error.
