Hello,

is it possible to add a password to an existing encryption key that had been created with the --kdf none option?

Thanks and best regards
 
It is possible with:
proxmox-backup-client key change-passphrase /path/to/key
You will then be prompted to enter a new password if no password exists.

Vice versa you can remove the password with:
proxmox-backup-client key change-passphrase /path/to/key --kdf=none
it then asks for the current password and saves the file without password.
