The alternate form of this in drive encryption is having a secondary password that opens a phony drive.

I forget what it’s called, basically you set up a second drive that contains inoccuous, plausible, easily sacrificed data. It makes for a better duress password if people are threatening to cause harm in the event they don’t get it.
