Remove Chrome flag for fingerprint

Project Member Reported by norvez@chromium.org, Nov 20

Issue description

Flag ownership is being revamped:

https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/contributing-code/flag-ownership


The FP UI lives behind the quick-unlock-fingerprint flag, but we don't really use that flag anymore. It is now normally enabled or disabled with a USE flag http://cs/chromeos_public/src/platform2/login_manager/chrome_setup.cc?rcl=763e67284e2b5dcd206030111bb94c413624c9f7&l=436

So I think we can remove the corresponding Chrome flag
 
That use flag enables the QuickUnlockFingerprint feature flag. Is this the chrome flag you're referencing?

USE flags are a cros concept not used by chrome.
Yes, iiuc the QuickUnlockFingerprint is either set by chrome_setup (via a USE flag) or in the UI with this flag https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/about_flags.cc?type=cs&q=QuickUnlockFingerprint&sq=package:chromium&g=0&l=2886

So I think we should just remove the latter, ti doesn't seem necessary to have an entry in chrome://flags
Ack, removing from chrome://flags SG, but we still need to keep the feature flag around.
Yep, agreed :-)

yulunwu@: remove these[1] lines so that the fingerprint flag doesn't appear in chrome://flags
