We do not tell each other our passwords, because that would defeat the purpose of using eCryptfs, but if someone needs access to one of my files, like an episode of The Office, they can ask me to grant them momentary access and I can sign them in. It’s pretty useful that way. I share a computer with my three roommates and even though we trust each, it gives us all peace of mind that each of our file sets are protected through eCryptfs.

The main data lies on the /home folder, but in the process of writing and reading, it might be stored in the /swap and /tmp folders as well.

So if you're going to go to the effort to create encrypted systems, you might want to consider going ahead and spending the extra time to do /tmp, /swap, and your /home partition. Encryption does little good, if you have a file writing in and out of swap or tmp, that hasn't been encrypted. And while whole disk encryption is good, from what I read, you really need only worry about /tmp, /swap, and /home to protect your data and personal files.
