Question number1: Before setting up master password if I used to save my login info and password then it used to save in lockwise right? Suppose someone else is using my pc then he went into lockwise and pressed the "show password" button he will see my password without any trouble on the other hand if I use chrome and do save my login info and pass this time if that person click show password button in chrome then it autometically activates Windows hello face recognition to see if I am trying to see the pass or not. Firefox does not supports this feature.. Why? Question number 2: After setting up master password when I want to save any login info and pass it wants master pass, if I want to view my saved login info it also wants pass. Isn't it annoying to enter pass again and again? So why do you guys add features like Google chrome did? (adding Windows hello feature). It is more comfortable don't you guys think the same? Is there any alternate to enter master password again and again? :)

Firefox does support this feature in the current Nightly build (Firefox 76.0a1) and can ask for the Windows password if there is no master password set in Firefox.
