There is nothing "wrong" with passwords, but they have trade-offs like most approaches. The actual LUKS key is usually wrapped in a password protected record(s) commonly on the storage media by default. That method is usually weaker than the key itself. Note 10000 GPUs can brute force passwords rather quickly (a pre-sharded search space is fast), and key exfiltration for targeted individuals/firms still happens. Options like modern TPM include anti-brute force features, but has other attack surfaces. Everyone has their own risk profile, and it is safer to assume if people want in... they will get in sooner or later. ymmv =3 | ||
