What this setting changes—and what it does not

The control belongs to Chrome’s password manager: it determines whether Windows Hello is used when Chrome fills saved passwords. It is not a Windows sign-in control. You do not need to remove your Windows Hello PIN or change Windows sign-in settings to change this Chrome option.

On Mac, Google describes a parallel control named Use your screen lock when filling passwords; that is not the Windows Hello setting.

If the Windows Hello option is missing or Chrome still prompts

Some Chrome Community users report that the toggle is absent or that authentication prompts continue. Those reports do not establish a single cause or a workaround that will work for every setup. Google’s help page describes the setting but does not provide a universal fix for these cases.
