Im using firefox version 116.0.3

I've enabled the setting in about:config that requires my windows password when viewing/copying a password (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318874)

Is it possible to have firefox authenticate me each time it autofills a password as well?

I assume that you do not use the Primary Password as using biometrics or Windows Hello on desktop is merely 'cosmetic' and doesn't provide real protection like I wrote in that question?

If you use the PP then you can re-lock the logins by canceling a PP prompt. I prefer not to use auto-fill for logins as I do not always want to login if I visit a website, so I use "Use Saved Login/Password" in the right-click context menu.
