Comment on So I lost my OpenBSD FDE password (2016)parent

If you're worried about something like what happens to your FDE volumes after you die, and you don't want to write down a passphrase somewhere, you could do something like pick three extremely trustworthy family members, swear them to secrecy, and give each of them one third of the passphrase.

Guaranteed one of them will lose a piece

Shard it with Shamir Secret Sharing and give out shards to more trusted friends?

Or be in the tragic accident with you
