How to enable encryption?

Hello everyone!
I am wondering how to enable encryption of my P9 Lite running Nougat B370. My phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, if that is relevant.
In the menus I don't find any option to encrypt my phone. So, anyone knows if it is possible?

If you mean data encryption, it is already encrypted.

You sure about that? Because TWRP can access my data partition without pin...
Is there any way to check whether disk encryption is truly enabled?

It's encrypted unless you unencrypted it with twrp but the latest update of twrp (nouget) lets you backup data unlike twrp on MM.

It's strange though, I've never unencrypted my phone with twrp. But when I boot into twrp my whole data partition is open for access without any sort of password/pin. Seems to me there is no encryption active.

TWRP can mount data partition, but it does not mean that it is able to decrypt it.
It can backup/restore or format it which is what usually what a TWRP do, if you install a custom ROM like LOS you will need to format it because the system can't decrypt it while stock ROM can do it.

What I meant by my post is not only that twrp can mount the data partition. I can also access all my files within said data partition.

I want to encrypt my data partition and i want to access it via twrp. This is totally normal for so many other devices. I do not know why the note 4 community is always wondering about...
Kind regards

moto g4 plus rooted encrypted with password but twrp not ask for that

i encrypted my phone after i root it. It's running Lineageos. Encryption works, but if i boot in recovery i can enter folders but don't see any data. I can not mount data folder or add/install anything. Looks logic because it's encrypted, but i read somewhere that twrp will ask for a password when system is encrypted. I don't get this message.
Any suggestion how i need to do it correct? that i can enter twrp with pass

AFAIK you need a recovery that supports encryption.

i have twrp 3.2.1-0, question, how to start the ask password in terminal or recovery mode, if it is possible?

The only recovery i know which does support encryption is the 32 Bit shreps recovery. Do keep in mind that if you encrypt your device and use that recovery you won't be able to flash 64 bit roms since no 64 bit recovery supports encryption

Can't decrypt storage in TWRP

I switched from RROS back to OxygenOS, but now TWRP can't decrypt my storage.
Does anyone know a solution other than removing the password every time I want to use TWRP? Or should I format the storage and then restore everything?

Any recovery that can decrypt data from a Pie ROM?

I can't seem to find any recovery TWRP or otherwise that can decrypt encrypted data partitions? Is there any way I can do that? Just asking because i have been able to on other devices.
