Boot Up Looks Different Then Before After A Full Reset

Hi.

I have macbook pro 2019. I have mistakenly erased macbook from apple find my device because i want to reset it and give it a fresh start. But, after that i feel my macbook takes more time to boot and also the loading section appears after i put the password. Before erasing, it just appeared under the apple logo at the start.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.6

Did you choose to encrypt your drive, where you did not do that before?

if you encrypt your drive, only the [fully encrypted] Accounts information is available to enable login. AFTER you enter the correct login information, the rest of MacOS can be loaded and and started, decrypting on the fly with your saved key.
