By saving your passphrase you do not have to remember it. This means that the passphrase can be longer and more secure. Also you do not have to enter the passphrase each time you want to access your back-up files. You only need to make sure that the keyfile is available and secure.

1. You don’t have to remember it, and thus can make it longer and thus more secure. 2. You don’t have to enter it each time it is needed. You just need to make sure that the keyfile is available.
