mount encrypted home on login

Hello. I have a LUKS encrypted home partition. Back in my Ubuntu days I configured the system to automatically mount the partition when I logged in to the desktop with GDM. There was a PAM option (pam_mount.so) to bind the user pass. with the LUKS one.

But now in Arch I can't configure that. The system asks for the LUKS password during boot and it's annoying. Any ideas how to fix this?

Greets,
Luka

Exit install on Arch LUKS wiki page

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

This will work but I don't want to save my password on a non-encrypted root partition. It seems mount-on-login is possible because because pam_mount is in AUR but I don't know how to configure pam.
