There is really no UI/UX issue. It just needs to ask for a password for a key 
to decrypt. That's it. The UI is limited to either:
1, without Plymouth: A line in a framebuffer asking you to enter a password
2, with Plymouth: A box in the center of your screen that shows circles as you 
enter keys, expecting you to enter a password for a key.
