Add custom authentication app to Windows

I am looking for some guidance to know how I could integrate a custom login application to Windows (only when the screen is locked, not the initial Windows session logon screen).

I have developed a facial authentication system with web technologies, Node JS, Open CV and Angular JS and I would like to know if exists some way that would allow me to use it, when a user comes back to sit in front of the computer and it is locked, instead of entering the session password, to make a facial recognition there.

Could it be possible to add a Credential Provider in a Node JS application that would allow me to put the authentication system when a user wants to unlock the Windows screen? Or have a small (maybe written in C++) application that opens the Node JS app (like if it were an Iframe in a browser?) and show this in the lock screen instead of the regular password input that Windows has?

The app KeyLemon, has facial recognition to start a Windows session, I would need to do almost the same thing. If this is not possible, could you give me some advice about which could be the best programming language to do this? Should I have to write the entire authentication app in C++ to be able to use it as a Credential Provider?

Thank you very much, hope this is not a very weird question.
