Just a heads up, it looks like you're using the current "Canary" build. The most recent stable build—as in, the most recent build based on the stable branch of Chromium—is version 124.0.6367.207.1. It does not have this problem.

(To be clear, I'm pretty sure this is still a valid bug report. It's crashing because it can't find the LocalAuthentication.framework which was introduced in OS X 10.10 Yosemite.)

Then how can I tell which version of Chromium Legacy is based on Chromium Stable and which version is based on Chromium Canary?

The latest stable release always has the "stable" tag.
