Keep: The default encryption scheme is maintained. If a password has been set, it will remain unchanged. (Default)
Activate: The device will be re-encrypted using strong encryption methods when the user enters the password for the first time. It is strongly recommended to enforce the use of a strong password; see Minimum password length and the subsequent password settings. The re-encryption may take about 10 to 60 seconds; the duration depends on the hardware performance and the size of the Custom Partition.
Deactivate: The device will be re-encrypted back to the default device encryption scheme on the next boot. The re-encryption may take about 10 to 60 seconds.

If you want to switch back to the default device encryption, you must have the password. If the password gets lost, you must reinstall IGEL OS on the device, for example, using the OS Creator. For detailed instruction, see How to Start with IGEL > Installing the Base System via IGEL OS Creator (OSC). |
