Is there a security risk with enabling autologin when you have disk encryption with LUKS enabled? If anyone gets hold of the PC, they have to enter the password needed for decrypting the disk.
I use autologin too with disk encryption and i don’t see an issue. If you have the encryption password nothing can stop you anyway. And if you put your computer in any sleep mode you have to login after waking up.
Auto login works on remote sessions too though, right?
You mean SSH? I have it blocked by a firewall. Or do you mean anything else I am unaware of?
You could potentially do it even better the other way around. You can use clevis and tang to have network bound disk encryption setup. That way, anytime you’re connected to your network the disk auto decrypts. For laptops, I like to put a decryption key on a USB drive that auto decrypts the drive. Network bound disk encryption doesn’t work over wifi and this way I can still have it decrypt on the go but lock it by removing the USB key (like if you leave the laptop in the hotel room just take the USB out and keep it with you).
