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....
