I initially installed cachyOS without swap partition. I decided to create an encrypted swap partition. However by doing so it always asks for the password before it starts grub bootloader and after I select the current option, it will then asks me for the same password for the swap partition, I only want it to prompt me for the password once.

Keep in mind it is using the same password.

This is what I have under the following files:

/etc/fstab:

UUID=C19D-448D                            /boot/efi      vfat    defaults,umask=0077 0 2
/dev/mapper/luks-6bc30522-a289-422e-9dd6-7d21ce6493b7 /              ext4    defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/mapper/luks-8fd1bedb-61fe-4969-8c9a-5f72de6755c8 /home          ext4    defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/mapper/luks-8fd1bedb-61fe-4969-8c9a-5f72de6755c8 swap           swap    defaults 0 0

/etc/crypttab:

Any advise on what I need to do so that it only asks me once for the password?
