Hello, I just took advantage of crash/bare-metal reinstall to move from cryptsetup to cryptsetup-luks, my first experience with luks. I followed some of the many tutorials out there to re-encrypt a partition as home directory. Some mention making a key file, as I had done before, but didn't say what to do with it. Am I right in assuming that with luks I can use either a password OR a password-protected keyfile kept off the partition? Is one way more secure than the other? Also, the whole procedure worked fine (I did not make a key file), except that I cannot add a second password to the partition. WHen I try "cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda8" I get an error message that says "No key available with this passphrase." Is adding multiple passwords only relevant when using a key file?
