Details
To reproduce:
In /etc/crypttab create an entry with the <password> field set to none. Systemd asks for a password, but after i typed half of it, it skips over the password entry before i can press enter, and nothing happens. Some characters of the password are typed into the console and visible in clear text after the password entry is skipped. |

Not sure if the behaviour described is intended or not. It seems silly to show a password entry box and then quickly hide it again.
If you think the passphrase dialog is wrong discuss with systemd upstream.
