I meant it unnecessarily ask twice for the passphrase to an *existing* key.
Just try it out.

  ~# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop1

  WARNING!
  ========
  This will overwrite data on /dev/loop1 irrevocably.

  Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES
  Enter LUKS passphrase: [enter: "number1"]
  Verify passphrase: [enter: "number1"]
  Command successful.
  ~# cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/loop1
  Enter any LUKS passphrase: [enter: "number1"]
  Verify passphrase: [enter: "number1"]
^^^^ this is useless ^^^^
  key slot 0 unlocked.
  Enter new passphrase for key slot: [enter: "number2"]
  Verify passphrase: [enter: "number2"]
  Command successful.
