+                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><refentrytitle>wall</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. It
+                is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users
+                are properly notified.</para>
