This option authorizes GRUB to ask user for password and wait until the
password is supplied which can break unattended and remote boot. Think
of theme in /usr. With the option disabled GRUB would simply skip theme
and boot successfully. But with this option enabled it will wait for
password until user supplies it or presses ESC.
