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.
