Password manager on Windows should accept fingerprint, ... authentication

Reported by mr.ber...@gmail.com, Jan 10 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. I use Windows 10 with my login linked to my Microsoft account.
2. My Microsoft account password is long and complicated.
3. I login to my computer using Windows Hello. It accepts finger print, PIN, and potentially certificates and U2F hardware.
4. I store my passwords in Chrome. Actually, Chrome is my password generator and manager. I have read  Issue 1397 . I know that Chrome passwords are not safe. Once someone logs in to my computer, that person can get my passwords. I use 2FA for important accounts. Please do not question this step 4 ;)
5. Access a password on chrome://settings/passwords

What is the expected behavior?
1. I can login with authentication that is enough to log on to Windows, such as my PIN.

What went wrong?
1. I am forced to enter your complicated MS account password. Every. Single. Time. While that does not add any extra security as opposed to maybe the PIN, or a fingerprint, or any other way to unlock Windows.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

My suggestion: Have Windows handle the authentication, or accept the Windows PIN.

This will be fixed in Chrome 62 (some time mid October). Can be tried on Canary already.
