I get asked for my windows password when I try to view the passwords, are they not encrypted by windows?

  No, the prompt just unlocks the UI. Otherwise you'd be asked for your Windows password every time you auto-fill a password.

    Huh. So it's just to protect against casual perusal I guess?

    Really? I would have assumed that they do what keychain on macOS does which is password gate the decryption key, so it's good to know they're just sitting on disk somewhere. It's a shame as half assed stuff like this is why people don't trust these tools :-/
