            Bug ID: 254966
           Summary: geli setkey not working with detached provider
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: spam123 at bitbert.com

trying to run "geli setkey -n 1 gpt/hd01" on a detached geli provider asks me
for the master password, and after entering the right password just prints
"Note, that the master key encrypted with old keys and/or passphrase may still
exists in a metadata backup file." - so it does not ask me for the userpassword
I want to set to slot 1 (as one woud expect). So either the man page should be
changed to inform the user that setkey only works with attached providers or
the program should be adapted so that after entering the right master password
the user is asked for the user password. (IIRC this has already worked the last
time - quite some time ago - when I used it)

"geli setkey -n 1 gpt/hd01" works when the provider is already attached - the
dialogue:

Enter new passphrase: 
Reenter new passphrase: 
Note, that the master key encrypted with old keys and/or passphrase may still
exists in a metadata backup file.
