Allow changing Device Encryption password/PIN without OS reinstallation#459

B

Currently, once a Device Encryption password/PIN is set in IGEL OS 12, it cannot be changed by the user or administrator without reinstalling the OS.

This creates operational and security challenges:

  • Users cannot change their password/PIN periodically.
  • Compromised passwords/PINs cannot be rotated.
  • Forgotten passwords require a full OS reinstallation.
  • This does not align well with common security policies and compliance requirements.

Please add support for:

  • User-initiated password/PIN changes (after entering the current password/PIN).
  • Administrator-assisted password/PIN reset or recovery.
  • Optional recovery key functionality

This would significantly improve security, usability, and enterprise manageability of Device Encryption in IGEL OS 12.
