Bug Description
Some of the tools in ecryptfs-utils use the term "passphrase" for the user's login password, which is usually referred to as "password".
I guess it would be better to use "password" for the login password, to avoid confusion with the encryption passphrase.
e.g. in this tool: ecryptfs-
