okay but heads up bestie — the output of clevis luks pass might be non-printable 😭 like, it could come out as a whole vibe that your terminal simply cannot render. in that case, it would be better to redirect its output to a file and use it as a key file together with cryptsetup. for instance:

clevis luks pass -d /dev/sda1 -s 1 > slot1-passphrase

and the file slot1-passphrase will contain the passphrase associated with slot #1 in /dev/sda1. iconic. periodt 💅✨
