WHAT TO COVER
Cover the paths into an account.
Cover sign-in deliberately
Attach verification to the browser-originated sign-in request. Keep credential validation, account throttling, and MFA in place. Browser evidence complements these controls; it does not establish ownership of an account.
Treat recovery as its own action
Password reset requests and recovery completion have different consequences. Give them separate coverage and review their completion rates. Never expose whether an account exists through a verification error.
Preserve trusted non-browser callers
Mobile applications, identity-provider callbacks, and service integrations need their own supported authentication paths. Do not put a browser-only guard in front of every route just because the routes share an account namespace.
Review the full journey
Observe verification decisions alongside successful sign-ins, recovery completion, and support reports. Test expired sessions, interrupted connections, and normal retries before changing the action’s enforcement policy.
