Beginners Questions • [O/S] Not being prompted for LUKS password at boot but volume is decrypted

At this point, everything seems correct however my system boots, asks for the LUKS password for my root volume (sda3_crypt), I enter it, it works, and the system boots. My passwords for both volumes are the same FWIW. The new encrypted FS (/dev/mapper/beast--vg-home) is automounted and decrypted, and I am able to read and write to it with no issues. At this time however it provides no security because no password is required to decrypt it upon boot.
Sounds like you're concerned about not being prompted twice. I only dabble in system encryption, but six months or so ago I set up a test box with encrypted system and data partitions (no LVM) and was a bit surprised both would open on a single prompt. Last gen Grub couldn't do that (had to use a keyfile for the second partition). If you want two prompts, I expect two passwords would do it (haven't tested, though).
