OS authentication enable via registry?

TyDraniu replied

Hi,

I know how to turn on OS authentication to reveal passwords in about:config (signon.management.page.os-auth.enabled = true) But is there any way to turn this on in registry?

It's more like:

   {
     "policies": {
       "Preferences": {
         "signon.management.page.os-auth.enabled": {
           "Value": true,
           "Status": "locked"
         }
       }
     }
   }

Registry is the domain of Windows O/S and should be posted to a Windows forum to respond to this question.

I don't think so because this is a firefox setting and not a windows setting.

First of all, thank you for your help. I'm having troubles to get it to work. I tried a lot of different things. The last on was this:

{

 "policies": {

"Signon": {

   	"Management": {
   		"page":	{
   			"os-auth": {
   "enabled" : true
         }
       }
     }
   }
 }

}

Can someone post the correct lines? How do you "convert" settings in about:config into policy.json?

         }
       }
