Just installed the latest release for Windows and I just can’t find the option “Use your screen lock when filling passwords”.

This issue can be reproduced by going to this section brave://password-manager/settings

This option is crucial for keeping passwords safe against unknown users that could just select my passwords out of the saved list without any kind of further verification.  
Could someone tell me if it is available for Windows releases?

Brave 1.80.115

Not if you only want that specific phrasing. It’s Windows Hello
