Actual for Xenial.
If I reinstall system with encrypted /home using the same user and use another password, I can't login in. And the system is unusable.

I think, installer should check before installation begins if there an encrypted /home for selected user and is the entered password is correct.
If not - display a warning and ask user to enter correct password.
If user can't enter correct password, display a selection: 1. Format /home folder. 2. Abandon installation.
