I know I don't need a key, but I do want a key (stored in a remobable modia) encripted with a passphrase I will be able to change, or best, my wife can have the key protected with a different passphrase than I do. Beyond that, encripting with a key is much better than doing that with a passphrase because the passphrase can be cracked (dictionary attack) while the key-encripted that can't.
