Hello.

I'm experimenting with encrypted zpools. It's possible to import the Volume using only the passphrase? Without using the key every time. How?

You need to save the Key and the Recovery Key. How you connect to the pool will control which of the two you need, but there should always be a requirement to present a key. If you don't, how would it know that you are who you say you are?
