I have small trivial bash script that executes cryptsetup luksOpen  + mount
when I run it from xterm or VT it works

but, if it is executed from rcS.d on bootup, then the password is not
hidden and is visible when inputting it.

Another problem with password prompt on bootup is bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/203683 where
the prompt disappear completely.

This is important bug since unaware user will just enter entire password
and it will be visible on screen.
