  • You don’t want anything like what you’re attempting.

    1. Bypassing either password challenge for simplicity’s sake is just defeating the purpose of having LUKS on the full disk anyway. Just encrypt your home of that’s a problem for you and simplify things.
    2. Killing your lock screen from the session manager is going to cause all kinds of problems, so that’s not going to help. It’s not JUST a plain old process to kill, it’s the session manager. You kill it, and it’s going to ask you again anyway, and likely destroy your existing session.

    Instead, look into Clevis. Pair it with your TPM, and set it to handle the lower level LUKS challenge. Learn about it to understand the tradeoffs in security, but it’s going to be more secure than what you’re attempting.
