Please add the option to set a custom message when booting VeraCrypt from an UEFI system. Right now only the legacy MBR systems are supported with this option.

Thanks!

Edit DcsProp, key "PasswordMsg". It contains a lot options. Details in DcsProp.example

Thanks a lot. In MBR systems we don't see the password as we type as in even stars . But eventhough I put a custom text, still my EFI system shows the password as stars as I type it. Anyway to fix it in EFI systems?

  Press F5 at the bootloader screen to show password and PIM.
