Closes #63231
changelog: Fixed a
CredentialContainererror when attempting to log in to the Web UI with a hardware key using Firefox >=147.0.2Firefox 147.0.2 seems to have removed support for
mediation: 'silent'and now returns a hard error when our code tries to use Webauthn ("CredentialContainer request is not supported").It's unclear why we had this option in the first place. It was added in a PR that was not strictly related to Webauthn, gravitational/webapps#1172, specifically commit
51de7add. Removing the option makes it possible to log in again.The docs for the silent option say:
It doesn't seem like it's warranted in our case because the call to
navigator.credentials.getis always gated behind a button click, so it's not like we call this API on page load.
