Try "man losetup", this line should be there:

-T     asks password twice.

However, a bug in loop-AES' install instructions instruct to install man
pages to /usr/man/ directory. Many newer (all?) distros put man pages to
/usr/share/man/ directory. So a bug in installation instructions may be the
real cause of this.
