I tried the following

sudo cryptsetup luksChangekey /dev/nvme0n1p3 < new passphrase >

It then asks for the Sudo password, then asks for the old passphrase, but then it prints this error message

Failed to open key file.

what went wrong ?

Edit: turns out using GNOME Disks is way more straightforward.. 😅, thank you all

What is the output if you run sudo cryptsetup --verbose open --test-passphrase /dev/nvme0n1p3?

It asks for the sudo password, then it prints

No usable token is available.

Then it asks : Enter passphrase for /dev/nvme0n1p3:

After entering my old passphrase it prints:

Key slot 0 unlocked
Command Successful.

Alright so no permission issue, what if you run the changekey command in a separate bash subprocess? sudo bash -c '($your-changekey-command-here)'

Is it like the same first "cryptsetup luksChangekey..." But inside parentheses ? Im sure I'm getting the syntax wrong.. It prints

bash: line 1: -luksChangekey: command not found
