I accessed the link to openQA but see no way to write any comment. To create the encrypted home, I just opened YAST, User and Group management, selected the user, Edit, and select to encrypt home, give a size, password is asked, and that's all. One thing that never happens is that the user's files are moved. They are copied but remain in the home folder. This morning I added a comment but it is gone, so here again. I fixed the problem by changing /etc/pa.d/sddm to auth optional pam_mount.so auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session required pam_loginuid.so session include common-session session optional pam_cryptpass.so session optional pam_mount.so The first line and last two lines were added, and since then I was able to log in. What still is an issue is that the encrypted home is not properly dismounted after log out, which could result in corrupted files, as I discovered in earlier opensuse versions.
