Hi,
Is there a simple way to change the password for a LUKS encrypted SSD drive?
The Manjaro Linux Operating System is not running off of this SSD drive.
Please advise, thanks!
The process is a bit different.
There are multiple “slots” for passwords and keys.
You can add one or more - and then remove the other.

You can also remove the only one you have - so:
be very careful and first add a new password before removing the previous one!
If you don’t remove the previous one, both passwords will open the device.

Simple is a matter of the eyes - if you don’t care about the underlying mechanics - use gnome-disk (package gnome-disk-utility).
From the launcher it is named Disks
It sounds like an XY problem
So I have to ask - why are you so sure the it is the encryption passphrase that is the issue ?
