This is expected. Your login password is necessary for "sudo", to be
able to access the raw partition.
Note that "luksformat" is rather a power-user command line tool.
Ordinarily you would create encrypted partitions with the graphical
"Disks" tool.
Mounting the stick does not involve sudo, and thus does not need your
login password.

Indeed. I'll fix that.
