Neither cryptsetup nor dm-crypt has any concept of storing a container
passphrase for later use for unlocking purposes, except for the case
of reading a container passphrase being provided out-of-band to the
tooling (for example by being stored in a file).

You are _probably_ using a front-end provided by your desktop
environment, which does LUKS container passphrase handling using
whatever secrets infrastructure it uses.

This question, while legitimate in itself, is almost certainly better
directed somewhere that people in the know about your particular
desktop environment are likely to frequent. You should also specify
which desktop environment and version, and possibly of other relevant
software, you are using.

If you are uncertain, a forum dedicated to your particular Linux
distribution is probably a good place to start.

I hope you get the answers you seek, but the cryptsetup mailing list
is the wrong place in which to ask your question at least as posed.
