      This is more or less the only way to do it withoutpartitions asking the user to enter password each time we want to unlock a partition during boot (assuming you're not using a HSM)..
      There is a trivial, MUCH BETTER way than storing the passphrase in plaintext, which is extreme negligence.

      Use another key slot. LUKS2 gives you key slots. Use them. Use another key slot, and a keyfile.

      It really is that simple.

        In most cases that would only have made the error look different.
