The key file would be another means of decrypting the master key, if I
understand LUKS correctly. It would be independent of the passphrase.
(In LUKS terminology, two slots are used).
It would definitely help usability not having to enter a passphrase
twice. The GUI/TUI installer should take care generating the file and
ensuring strict permissions, so user processes cannot read it. There is
still some risk, because root processes could read it. If the installer
would support an external medium for the file, that would be best
(IMHO).
Best regards
