:COMMON_OPTIONS:
:ACTION_LUKSCHANGEKEY:
== Name
cryptsetup-luksChangeKey - change an existing passphrase
== SYNOPSIS
*cryptsetup _luksChangeKey_ [<options>] <device> [<new key file>]*
== DESCRIPTION
Changes an existing passphrase. The passphrase to be changed must be
supplied interactively or via --key-file. The new passphrase can be
supplied interactively or in a file given as the positional argument.
If a key-slot is specified (via --key-slot), the passphrase for that
key-slot must be given and the new passphrase will overwrite the
specified key-slot. If no key-slot is specified and there is still a
free key-slot, then the new passphrase will be put into a free key-slot
before the key-slot containing the old passphrase is purged. If there is
no free key-slot, then the key-slot with the old passphrase is
overwritten directly.
*WARNING:* If a key-slot is overwritten, a media failure during this
operation can cause the overwrite to fail after the old passphrase has
been wiped and make the LUKS container inaccessible.
*NOTE:* some parameters are effective only if used with LUKS2 format
that supports per-keyslot parameters. For LUKS1, PBKDF type and hash
algorithm is always the same for all keyslots.
*<options>* can be [--key-file, --keyfile-offset, --keyfile-size,
--new-keyfile-offset, --iter-time, --pbkdf, --pbkdf-force-iterations,
--pbkdf-memory, --pbkdf-parallel, --new-keyfile-size, --key-slot,
--force-password, --hash, --header, --disable-locks, --type,
--keyslot-cipher, --keyslot-key-size, --timeout, --verify-passphrase].
