Per company policy my laptop has to be very secure in case of theft, so I have created an encrypted partition (LUKS) that I want to mount via /etc/fstab.

However, I do NOT want to add passphrase to the volume or use a key file (e.g. per Auto mount encrypted partition using fstab without key prompts), because I feel this is less secure than typing the passphrase at boot time.

I want to be asked for the passphrase at boot, the OS remembering it and automounting the volume (/homeenc in my case) during the boot so that I can log in at once to my user account with home dir located on that encrypted volume (say /homeenc/example_user).

While there's plenty of information on the web of how to automount LUKS device without entering password at boot, I can't find info on how to configure above.
