Enable Users to unlock FileVault encryption?

[iphonefreak450]

Hi all - I remember that on previous versions of MacOS, there was an option called Enable Users to unlock or decrypt the disk from the FileVault settings. But I cannot see that option in Ventura.

Im running MacOS Ventura on a MacBook Pro M1.

Did Apple remove that option on MacBooks that are on the M1?

I only have one user defined now, so can't check what's available in system settings. Plus I'm running the Sonoma beta.

However, it can all be done from the command-line.

The only choice I can remember when setting FileVault is this one:

Okay, now I see it, thanks.
This new user interface just keeps some options hidden.

When you say it's hidden, how did you username-hide it? I checked my Mac and I do not have any option called Enable User for FileVault.

I would also like to get an answer. I don't see that option.

I think this is just like Fermat's Last Theorem. "Yeah, I see it, but there's just no room on this forum to write it down."
