The remaining issue is that your firmware is still starting a VeraCrypt EFI loader. Deleting a boot option in UEFI setup only removes a firmware/NVRAM entry. It does not necessarily restore the EFI boot files on the EFI System Partition. During UEFI system encryption, VeraCrypt also works with the Windows Boot Manager path and keeps a backup of the original Windows loader.

The option "VeraCrypt Background Task -> Exit when there are no mounted volumes" applies only to the background task, i.e. after the main VeraCrypt window has been closed/hidden to the tray.

And the design better allow registering more than 1 key (so one more XOR is needed to compensate for key differences) otherwise you'll loose access to the disk if the security key is lost/damaged/whatever.RichardHTue, 21 Apr 2026 12:57:03 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#80ddhttps://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#f20b@huvisoft This is a good direction. FIDO2 hmac-secret is much more suitable than OTP/TOTP because it produces a deterministic secret from a hardware key, so it can participate in key derivation. As you noted, the main difficulty is metadata storage and its incompatibility with VeraCrypt's plausible deniability. Because of this, I think FIDO2 can only be realistically used as a second factor together with the main password, not as a standalone unlock method. One possible design would be: The user...Mounir IDRASSITue, 21 Apr 2026 12:48:53 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#f20bhttps://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#b620Building on those ideas, it might be worth considering support for FIDO2 security keys via the hmac-secret extension. A few concrete benefits: Works with any FIDO2 key (YubiKey, SoloKey, Nitrokey, etc.), not tied to proprietary APIs like YubiKey challenge-response The credential/secret remains entirely inside the security key; VeraCrypt only receives a derived value Strong phishing resistance and origin binding: FIDO2 credentials are scoped and protected by the authenticator The protocol is relatively...RichardHTue, 21 Apr 2026 09:52:57 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#b620https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#c42e@daemotrix This is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, OTP codes don't map well to VeraCrypt design. VeraCrypt unlocks a volume by deriving the same header key from the password, keyfiles, PIM and salt. Therefore the inputs used for key derivation must be reproducible. A TOTP/HOTP code changes, while the volume header is static. If the OTP value were used directly as the PIM or as part of the key derivation, the header would only decrypt with that exact value and future OTP values would fail. There...Mounir IDRASSITue, 21 Apr 2026 09:15:38 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#c42ehttps://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/features/thread/884327c23d/?limit=25#4fdaThank you for the suggestions. The proposed boot screen would be great. The current bootloader already has some building blocks for graphics mode, but achieving such a result would require significant work, especially around testing on different types of machines. It is definitely on the TODO list. For the specific font size request, I will explore how to support this in the bootloader without reworking the graphical interface.

Will be possible to use OTP generators (doesn't matter if RSA tokens, google Auth, etc...) as source of PIM? For example when drive will be encrypted I type my password and as PIM source I use authenticator, so some QR will be displayed. That means Passwd will be the same but PIM is changing, that can improve security. But I'm not sure if that can be implement or if something like that can work especially in pre-boot en...Das XardasTue, 21 Apr 2026 08:37:53 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#a235https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/technical/thread/f1c63bf020/?limit=25#8f37@daemotrix Regarding YubiKey, smart cards and fingerprint readers: VeraCrypt already supports PKCS#11 security tokens and smart cards as keyfiles for non-system volumes. VeraCrypt also support EMV credit/debit cards natively as source for keyfile without the need of PKCS#11. However, security tokens and smart cards are not currently supported for pre-boot authentication of system encryption. Some Yubikeys don't support storing keyfiles used by VeraCrypt.
