FileVault and boot only asking for my normal password

[slattery69]

ive just enabled FileVault on High Sierra and chose to put the recovery key in my iCloud. I expected to have to put two passwords in when on the odd occasion rebooted.
One for FileVault and then my normal password. However on a few test reboots it just asks for my normal password for my user account. No mention of FileVault. I’ve checked and encryption is enabled.
Is this normal ?
