Just tried it on a TTY and... had to do some fixes... who would have thought that some shells return -bash as their $0 instead of just bash.
After that, it worked!
Though, figued I need to get rid of the underline for the title, as that becomes a 'cyan'ish background - which kinda makes it hard to read that blue text...
And sure as hell is not inteded, I mean, even adding the underline was just a little fun - and I wasnt sure wether I wanted to keep it or not.. this helps
Just thought I'd share the first image of the TTY test.
But this 'experience' is always kind of a milestone - just to know that it -as it is- works in its basic form for/in both, X and TTY/environments.
Well, once I got rid of that cyan/underline that is...
this is the output i am getting here..

systemd-ask-password
SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWO(1) systemd-ask-password SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWO(1)NAME
systemd-ask-password - Query the user for a system password
SYNOPSIS
systemd-ask-password [OPTIONS...] [MESSAGE]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-ask-password may be used to query a system password or passphrase from the user, using a question message specified on the command
line. When run from a TTY it will query a password on the TTY and print it to STDOUT. When run with no TTY or with --no-tty it will query
the password system-wide and allow active users to respond via several agents. The latter is only available to privileged processes.
The purpose of this tool is to query system-wide passwords -- that is passwords not attached to a specific user account. Examples include:
unlocking encrypted hard disks when they are plugged in or at boot, entering an SSL certificate passphrase for web and VPN servers.
Existing agents are: a boot-time password agent asking the user for passwords using Plymouth; a boot-time password agent querying the user
directly on the console; an agent requesting password input via a wall(1) message; an agent suitable for running in a GNOME session; a
command line agent which can be started temporarily to process queued password requests; a TTY agent that is temporarily spawned during
systemctl(1) invocations.
Additional password agents may be implemented according to the systemd Password Agent Specification[1].
If a password is queried on a tty the user may press TAB to hide the asterisks normally shown for each character typed. Pressing Backspace
as first key achieves the same effect.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
--icon=
Specify an icon name alongside the password query, which may be used in all agents supporting graphical display. The icon name should
follow the XDG Icon Naming Specification[2].
--timeout=
Specify the query timeout in seconds. Defaults to 90s.
--no-tty
Never ask for password on current TTY even if one is available. Always use agent system.
--accept-cached
If passed accept cached passwords, i.e. passwords previously typed in.
--multiple
When used in conjunction with --accept-cached accept multiple passwords. This will output one password per line.
EXIT STATUS
On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
