Remember Number to Boot System + You have chosen a PIM value that is larger than VeraCrypt default value.\nPlease note that this will lead to much slower mount/boot. You have chosen a Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) that is smaller than the default VeraCrypt value. Please note that if your password is not strong enough, this could lead to a weaker security.\n\nDo you confirm that you are using a strong password? Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) maximum value for system encryption is 65535. Volume PIM -- cgit v1.2.3
