In some countries you can do time for not disclosing passwords. In the UK it is 5 years.

Again, this is where plausible deniability setups kick in.

Of course the EU can go full police state, but at that point I hope the regular citizens pushes back.

The goal is to raise the cost of enforcement.

Problem is that you cannot pretend you can't remember the password. So unless what you hide can give you more time than for not disclosing the password, then yes having things encrypted could help...

You can have different volumes for different passwords.

Plausible deniability.
