    OMG, thank you! I've been scouring settings for both Chrome and Windows trying to figure out how to remove this. The web has been absolutely no help! That is, until I came across your comment by chance!!! Thanks!!!

    This does NOT work for me. I have verified "Use Windows Hello when filling passwords" is turned off in Chrome. It hasn't ever been turned on in fact. But I still get prompted by Windows Security for my credentials whenever I try to view or edit my passwords in Chrome.

    The issue isn't that it prompts me for my credentials. The problem is that it prompts repeatedly, sometimes more than a dozen times in a row before it will let me return to my passwords.

    Here is the scenario: I'm trying to go through all of my passwords and get rid of ones that I don't want and update ones that I do. This requires me to go to the websites where I created the passwords to change them. Sometimes that process takes me a few minutes and when I try to return to the Google Passwords tabs Windows Security asks for my pin 5, 10, 20 times in a row depending on something like how many passwords are on showing on the tab, I haven't figured that out, but I can say for sure, there is no need to ask me to enter my credentials more than once and it consistently does.

    I don't mind entering it once. But ANY more than that is too much.
