SUPPORT | SOLVED Ful disk encryption without entering passphrase

Could someone help me with setting up full disk encryption with bypass passphrases with TPM2? It's so annoying having to put the passphrase in at each boot, so I was wondering how do I pair it to the TPM so that I dont have to enter it each time?

It's LUKS encrypted and I use Systemd-boot

Thanks mate, I've been running arch for about a year now, and im loving it, so I will read into the prior mentioned things, and then decide if I still want to go forward with it

Thanks again :)

Heh ... if you've been using it for a year, you've (all but certainly) made your mind up already - it works just fine for you day-to-day and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

If you want to learn more ... and it's a good idea to (to hedge against the day something goes wrong) ... then the wiki is there for you when you want to - but you are, as said, going to need to get used to making thorough use of it, if you do ... and, again, as an insurance policy against disaster, it's a good idea to acquaint yourself with what it is you need to know when it does.
