== Name
cryptsetup-luksAddKey - add a new passphrase
== SYNOPSIS
*cryptsetup _luksAddKey_ [<options>] <device> [<key file with new key>]*
== DESCRIPTION
Adds a keyslot protected by a new passphrase.
An existing passphrase must be supplied interactively, via --key-file or LUKS2 token (plugin).
Alternatively to existing passphrase user may pass directly volume key (via --volume-key-file or --volume-key-keyring).
The new passphrase to be added can be specified interactively, read from the file given as the positional argument (also via --new-keyfile parameter) or via LUKS2 token.
*NOTE:* with --unbound option the action creates new unbound LUKS2 keyslot.
The keyslot cannot be used for device activation.
If you don't pass new key via --volume-key-file option, new random key is generated.
Existing passphrase for any active keyslot is not required.
*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, --new-keyfile-offset, --new-keyfile-size, --key-slot, --new-key-slot, --volume-key-file, --volume-key-keyring, --force-password, --hash, --header, --disable-locks, --iter-time, --pbkdf, --pbkdf-force-iterations, --pbkdf-memory, --pbkdf-parallel, --unbound, --type, --keyslot-cipher, --keyslot-key-size, --key-size, --timeout, --token-id, --token-type, --token-only, --new-token-id, --verify-passphrase, --external-tokens-path].

== EXAMPLES
*NOTE*: When not specified otherwise interactive passphrase prompt is always default method.
Add new keyslot using interactive passphrase prompt for both existing and new passphrase:
*cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/device*
Add new keyslot using LUKS2 tokens to unlock existing keyslot with interactive passphrase prompt for new passphrase:
*cryptsetup luksAddKey --token-only /dev/device*
Add new keyslot using LUKS2 systemd-tpm2 tokens to unlock existing keyslot with interactive passphrase prompt for new passphrase (systemd-tpm2 token plugin must be available):
*cryptsetup luksAddKey --token-type systemd-tpm2 /dev/device*
Add new keyslot using interactive passphrase prompt for existing keyslot, reading new passphrase from key_file:
*cryptsetup luksAddKey --new-keyfile key_file /dev/device* or
*cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/device key_file*
Add new keyslot using volume stored in volume_key_file and LUKS2 token in slot 5 to get new keyslot passphrase (token in slot 5 must exist and respective token plugin must be available):
*cryptsetup luksAddKey --volume-key-file volume_key_file --new-token-id 5 /dev/device*
