(Whiteboard: [passwords:master-password] [passwords:primary-password])

It seems that 194529 has landed and I was wondering if the same principle could be applied to replace the master password mechanism? At the moment, the current mechanism appears to just be used for anti-snooping and not security purposes.

I was wondering if it would be possible to perhaps store the master password, or password encryption key in the OS credential store instead?

Main motivation for wanting this is mostly for easier UX as I would rather use the Windows login mechanism rather than using the master password mechanism
