Note that using OS authentication isn't very safe because it is merely cosmetic and works for the user interface. It doesn't prevent accessing the logins like the PP does by encrypting the passwords in logins.json and merely flipping the pref on the about:config page or placing logins.json and key4.db in another profile makes it possible to access the logins.

There are some login related policies available, one to disable the 'eye' in Lockwise to reveal the password (but copy still works) and another to disable/block Lockwise entirely (this can leave "Fill Login" and "Fill Password" if there is no PP).
