Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
If you using cryptsetup and decrypt root or similar on startup you are asked for a password. This looks very nice and professional with Plymouth but as soon as you enter the wrong password the error message is printed upon the password field.
It is still no problem to enter the password but it just doesn't look so good.
The message should appear at the same place where the original message appears to enter the password to decrypt root or similar.
