    It is an intentional cooldown? I never know that, sometimes I always forcing CCCCCCCC^C it to create a placebo effect of it gets canceled faster.

      It knows if your password is correct almost instantly by hashing it and checking it against the hash in /etc/shadow. It’s intentionally blocking the thread to help mitigate bruteforcing.

      GRUB told me I had to wait 120s when I was so drunk I entered the wrong LUKS password 3 times in a row. Even in that state of mind I figured I could just restart it :D
