You can setup a separated account with a long password on MacOS and remove your user account from accounts that can unlock FileVault. Then you can change your account to use a short password. You can also change various settings regarding how long Mac has to sleep before requiring to unlock FileVault.

I didn’t understand how a user that cannot unlock FileVault helps. Can you please elaborate on this setup? Thanks.
