*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug:
During Ubuntu installation a user is created and there is an option to
encrypt the home folder for this user. However, there is no such option
when creating other users in System Settings | User Accounts, which
might lead to the expectation that other accounts are also created with
an encrypted home folder. However that is not the case, other users are
created with ordinary home folders as I recently discovered when booting
Ubuntu from an USB stick. Also there is no easy option to encrypt them.
Please add the same option to the dialog for creating other users.
Note: I considered this a security vulnerability, because the absence of
the option to encrypt home folders for creating other users might lead
to the assumption that these folders will be encrypted too.
Ubuntu 13.10 x64.
