Is the username and password the Apple ID? Because other than that, I only
have a password log in for my Mac -

Yes, there was a dialog during setup which asked whether you wanted to
turn on Firevolt. At least that was my experience.
FireVolt is great. Without it, it’s surprising how easy it is to get
access to someone’s data on their Mac even if they have a password. It’s
particularly useful on a MacBook if you don’t want people having access to
everything on your Mac if you lose it or it’s stolen. And once you know
what the beeps mean at login, the process is perfectly accessible. It’s
important to learn what the beeps mean though, as I stuffed it up the
first time and had to decrypt and encrypt again. One beep is to type in
the user name, two beeps is to type in your password, and three beeps
means you are logging in. If you type the username or password
incorrectly, it just repeats the relevant beep signal.
