Why: When you don't have an account and request a password reset and click through to that email that says create your account now, users are taken to the very first step of having to confirm their email address again.

How: Override the functionality of reset password when the user is not found to behave like create account.

Hi! Before submitting your PR for review, and/or before merging it, please
go through the following checklist:

  • For DB changes, check for missing indexes, check to see if the changes
    affect other apps (such as the dashboard), make sure the DB columns in the
    various environments are properly populated, coordinate with devops, plan
    migrations in separate steps.

  • For route changes, make sure GET requests don't change state or result in
    destructive behavior. GET requests should only result in information being
    read, not written.

  • For encryption changes, make sure it is compatible with data that was
    encrypted with the old code.

  • For secrets changes, make sure to update the S3 secrets bucket with the
    new configs in all environments.

  • Do not disable Rubocop or Reek offenses unless you are absolutely sure
    they are false positives. If you're not sure how to fix the offense, please
    ask a teammate.

  • When reading data, write tests for nil values, empty strings,
    and invalid formats.

  • When calling redirect_to in a controller, use _url, not _path.

  • When adding user data to the session, use the user_session helper
    instead of the session helper so the data does not persist beyond the user's
    session.

  • When adding a new controller that requires the user to be fully
    authenticated, make sure to add before_action :confirm_two_factor_authenticated.

Would it make sense to create a new email for this scenario? It might be confusing to get an email confirming account creation when the user was trying to reset their password. Maybe we should come up with new wording that says something like "you were trying to reset your password, but you don't have an account yet, so we created one for you."
