Powering off the computer will do that. The passphrase is always required on cold boot.

Amusingly simple, practical solution. What's the wake time difference from power off vs sleep for a modern Mac Book? I don't have one. Oh, I suppose the power off time would be longer than simply shutting the lid, too.

Can you configure it to power off when the lid shuts?
