Hello! I was curious about why there are 3 password prompts to get to my
desktop environment in Guix System.

I've noticed that, on Guix, I get asked for my root partition decryption passphrase both before and after the Grub boot menu, whereas on other distros it's typically only required after the Grub menu. This may or may not be the same phenomenon you're experiencing. My best guess is that Grub on Guix needs to access an image file on the root partition to display the flashy background it has behind the menu.
