Ok, so it just probably weakens the security, as I can add less secure passphrases, and this case the other slot would be the weakest link. On the other hand I will have two passphrases and it's less likely to forget/lose 2 passphrases at once. The source that that's a good idea: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Key_management Or do you suggest a key file rather than a Diceware passphrase which would be written down on paper? Or just one passphrase, because you don't agree with this practice.
