A useful flow for the overwhelmingly single user computers is to make FDE password and user account password the same and enable auto login. Basically at boot up the user is prompted for their password and when boot up completes they are automatically logged into their user account without further prompting.

For multi user systems one can tie login to mounting an encrypted home but of course you are still required to enter a password twice although in theory it seems like the information entered first could be retained and could be used to log in a user and complete the next step.
