Hi,
In fact, I use the USB method as a workaround. Nevertheless, it doesn't solve the problem because you must have it connected. If you keep it connected all the time, it is a security risk because the paraphrase to unencrypt the home folder is there. So makes it kind of inconvenient, and to plug the USB on every login is not really the optimal solution.
What TJ (tj) said sound like a possible solution.
@semidark if what are you asking is too disable decrypt in the login, is not possible. The encryption is set when creating the user, you can decide to not encrypt the home folder and you won't have this trouble. Or if you already have the home folder encrypted, you could decrypt it.
