Unencrypted password in EFI mode |

Hello,
I know it's a really bad practice but I would like to understand the
differences between BIOS and EFI mode in grub.
When I put "password user insecure" in the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file in
BIOS mode, grub recognizes my password and allows me to edit the grub
configuration.
On the other hand, when I'm in EFI mode (/boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg),
the password doesn't work and I have the punishment delay increasing.
The password_pbkdf2 command works correctly.
Could you explain me the difference between the 2 modes?
I searched in the source code but didn't find anything relevant.
Thanks,
Paul.
