I'm not sure if the password key is encrypted, you'd have to check
that yourself. I'm pretty sure it will be fairly huge though.
As regards losing the key...I think you'd be stuffed unless you had a
copy, and in any event if you lost the key disk it would be wise to
make a new one with a new key.
In which case you'll need two extra usb sticks..one for use, one for
backup of the key!
