+GRUB unlocks /dev/vda2 so it can read /boot and load the kernel/initramfs.  
+The initramfs then takes over and unlocks /dev/vda2 again for the actual root/LVM setup.  
+But GRUB doesn't pass the password it obtained to the initramfs requiring you to enter the password twice to decrypt the system.  
+You can follow these steps to avoid this issue:
+
+```bash
+sudo install -d -m 700 /etc/cryptsetup-keys.d
+
+sudo dd bs=512 count=4 if=/dev/random iflag=fullblock \
+    | sudo install -m 600 /dev/stdin /etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/system.key
+
+sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/vda2 /etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/system.key
+```
+Then add to `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`:
+```bash
+FILES=(/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/system.key)
+```
+Then in `/etc/default/grub` in `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""` append:
+```
+ cryptkey=rootfs:/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/system.key
+```
+Then rebuild:
+```bash
+sudo mkinitcpio -P
+sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

 And that's it, you now have a minimal archlinux installation in UEFI with full disk encryption, secure boot, and SELinux in enforcing mode.
