As LUKS unlock screen always uses en-US keyboard layout, entering the password might be difficult if you have a different locale. Before you had to manually edit /etc/dracut.conf.d/keyboard.conf & /etc/vconsole.conf. Since Fedora 42 you can just run the following command:
Set the keyboard layout to the french keyboard:
sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=vconsole.keymap=fr
Replace an existing layout by another:
sudo rpm-ostree kargs --replace=vconsole.keymap=de
On new Fedora 42 installs, the locale is set correctly during install.

This is actually duplicate of few mounts old thread Unlock encrypted disk at boot time only supports English keyboard .
Still.. this would be nice to be documented in Blufin official documentation, so it will be easier in future to point to official docs.

I couldn’t find that thread, probably because I searched for “LUKS”^^
This issue is was fixed in Fedora 42 , so it’s probably enough to have the forum posts for those that upgraded from 41 and older.
