Showing stored password without any security check is vulnerable.

The Master/Primary password is system is difficult to set in multiple device. 

Is it possible to set windows default password to show Firefox stored password, which is used all chromium based browser...?

I attach a screenshot to understand.

It looks like the OS authentication prompt will be disabled via normandy, by flipping the preference " signon.management.page.os-auth.enabled " from false to true

Note that if there is no Primary Password set you can easily copy logins.json and key4.db to another profile folder to be able to see all passwords in the Password Manager (Lockwise) because the logins aren't encrypted more strongly like when you use the PP.
