[Feature flag - Cleanup] Remove `webauthn` feature flag
The webauthn
feature flag has been enable by default since 14.6 (2 years ago). The webauthn
feature flag was added in order to switch to it from U2F.
We have agreed to remove the webauthn
in !111350 (comment 1295036414).
This is mostly a backend issue (controllers, HAMLs, specs...) but it has a tiny little bit of frontend (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/views/profiles/two_factor_auths/show.html.haml#L137)
Owners
- Team: ~"group::authentication and authorization"
- Most appropriate slack channel to reach out to:
#g_manage_auth
- Best individual to reach out to: @ifarkas
- PM: @hsutor
