Reuse an unexpired verification code when switching back to the same email address or phone number without attempting another verification method. Returning to a code preserves its resend countdown, and pending code sends finish before another method is prepared or submitted.

Restore the "no secret seeded" guard for email_code and phone_code in the fake attempt handler.

firstFactorCode and secondFactorCode are typed string | null and start as null. The prepare handler also stores null when neither codesByIdentification nor secrets[strategy] has a code. For email_code and phone_code, secret is therefore null and never undefined. The check on Line 252 can no longer fire for those strategies.

Two effects follow:

  • A test that seeds no code for a preparable strategy no longer fails loudly with fake FAPI: no secret seeded…. The attempt gets a form_code_incorrect error instead.
  • If the request omits code, body.get('code') returns null. The check body.get('code') !== secret then compares null to null and passes. The attempt succeeds without a code.

Convert null to undefined when you read the stored code. This keeps the previous fail-fast behavior.

IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

244 - 252:
In the fake attempt handler, normalize the nullable `firstFactorCode` or
`secondFactorCode` selected for `email_code` and `phone_code` to `undefined`
when no code is seeded. Preserve the existing `secret === undefined` guard so
attempts without a seeded code fail fast.

The wrong-password path mutates verification state before returning the error.

When strategy === 'password', the handler calls setStageVerification(...) and clears state.verification.firstFactorCode before comparing the submitted password. A wrong password returns passwordIncorrect() after these mutations, so the failed attempt can leave state that later verification or reverification flows observe. Move these mutations after the successful password comparison.

Move the setStageVerification and firstFactorCode reset in the password branch
after the password comparison succeeds, so a wrong password returns
passwordIncorrect() without changing verification state.
