Windows 10: Why is Windows Hello Facial Recognition slow when used as a sign in for other apps?

Using Facial Recognition to sign into my laptop from the lock screen is quick, but if an app like Chrome wants to use Facial Recognition to unlock my passwords for a website, it takes 5-10 seconds to initialize the camera/IR scanner, then start Facial Recognition.Any idea why this might be happening and what I can do to resolve the slow load times?
