Description
The default implementation of UpdatePasswordWidget strongly authenticates a user as soon as their password is successfully changed. Not only is this discouraged by OWASP, but it bypasses second factor authentication altogether if this is in place.
The default lost password implementation reduces authentication to a single factor (email), even with MFA enabled. We can close this loophole by still requiring the normal login procedure after resetting the password.
