When you LUKS encrypt a standard artitions with a password, each partition that is LUKS encrypted will require the user to decrypt it with the password that was established during the LUKS setup. So if you LUKS encrypt root, /home, and [SWAP], you would need to type 3 passwords during boot. The only exception would be if @/home was a logical volume under root, in which case it would be decrypted once root is decrypted. Once other note: Since [SWAP] is encrypted, you may have difficulty resuming from a Hibernate sleep state if you ever put the system in Hibernate mode. Personally I'm not sure why anyone would do this because it's faster to boot the system from a shutdown, so this is really just an FYI.
