FileVault and Jamf Connect triple login

One thing that wasn't made clear before we purchased Jamf Connect is that according to the guide (and so far, from our testing) that in order to use Jamf Connect AND FileVault there's essentially at least 3 login prompts. 4 if you include an MFA prompt.
https://docs.jamf.com/jamf-connect/2.1.3/administrator-guide/FileVault_Enablement_with_Jamf_Connect.html
Is there any way around this? We need to have our Macs encrypted, but 3 prompts for password is quite excessive.

Same. Was not made clear.

If you allow local login and passwords are synced, we login at the filevault screen and it goes straight into desktop. If you force network login, then I am sure you are going to get 2 logins with the 3rd being because of azure and not okta.

Could you further explain we have local accounts

A fix in Jamf Connect so now it’s auth at FV then auth at Jamf Connect (this was for azure)
