Details:
If you encrypt the entire system, you'll get a text-based, however, it has
some UX problems:
1. If you press enter (accidentally or not) while typing the password and
start typing again, GRUB will "leak" your password in the screen while
entering GRUB rescue. While decryption is in progress, keyboard should not
register anything aside from keyboard shortcuts.
2. Why just one incorrect attempt makes the GRUB enter in rescue mode? Three
attempts is a standard and it's better. Also, GRUB could show a keyboard
shortcut like "press R to enter rescue mode".
3. There is no message indicating that decrypting is in progress. You if don't
press enter correctly, you won't know if the decryption started or not.
4. Password characters doesn't appear in the screen as asterisks while you
typing. This is very useful to check if the system registered two characters
instead of one.
5. Backspace doesn't work.
These issues happens in GRUB 2.04.
