Better still: LUKS allows you to set up multiple entry keys, so use two, either of which will grant access to the drive.

* Your preferred memorized passphrase and will never be written down anywhere.

* A random key you can print and store in a box somewhere.

Then if your backup paper gets lost, you can revoke/replace it without having to abandoned your memorized favorite.

Yep. You can also put your key on a usb drive that can be read on boot.

Just choose a good quality one....
