Windows 10: Bitlocker - turned on but no login required

On my Dell Latitude Bitlocker was preinstalled and activated. However, there is no login/key required at pre-windows login. The only protections is the windows password, and afaik this is pretty easy to crack. I can see nowhere to add a password/key, and therefore in my opinion my laptops is essentially unprotected. What can I do to activate Bitlocker in a way that gives meaning?
