Description
Probably not for 8.0, maybe for 8.1.
Geli can be used not only with key-files, but with passphrases too.
Good idea to have this ability, for example not during system start, but manually.
Creating such partition: generate keyfile, enter super-user passphrase (to recover), enter user passphrase.
Mounting and working with such partition: during start or manually - enter passphrase, mount to specified directory.

Further more, I think that without this, standard users don't actually have any use of encryption with unprotected keys - when HDD is lost or stolen, one just mounts root partition under live-fs and gets the keys for encrypted partitions from /boot.
Couldn't there just be an additional option in installer for protecting keys with passphrase?
