Yes - it appears in the list of 'Printers' and instead of getting a physical printout on a sheet of paper, it saves as a PDF. Very useful as a way of saving information on a website, for instance.
Gotcha... Does that allow you to use Authenticator or similar, or is it only a password-replacement with fingerprints etc.?
I think if you turn on two step authentication for the Microsoft account you sign into the OS with then it should be the same as signing in with a web browser; in other words it should ask for a verification, but I can't confirm as I don't currently have 10 installed. Perhaps someone else here can test it?
When I tried this with Windows 8, I think it needs the authenticator once but then it 'remembers' for that computer, so for subsequent times it only asks for the password.
I think I may have tried it with one of the earlier builds of Windows 10 and found the same - can't remember to be honest and I've wiped the machine a few times since then.
I don't know how I forgot this but I use this keyboard shortcut about once a week and it bugs me when I use Windows 7 and forget it's not there.

Having played with this a lot recently to try and create a tutorial, I do think the Recovery Options are a lot better in Windows 10 than Windows 7 or 8 - with the caveat that they don't seem 100% reliable yet, but I'm hopeful they will be soon.
You can now create a USB Recovery Drive which will reinstall Windows, drivers and (with the aid of my tutorial ) installed software, onto a completely wiped hard disk.
