feat(shared,clerk-js,ui): let users with a breached password reverify by resetting it - #10396
When reverification rejects a password as breached (form_password_pwned) or compromised (form_password_compromised), the modal only shows the error. Users whose password is the only way to verify can't make any protected change in UserProfile, or anywhere else that uses useReverification, including the Clerk Dashboard. That includes changing the breached password.
Fix
The reverification modal now offers the same way out sign-in does:
A Password compromised screen with Reset your password, followed by the user's other methods.
A new password, then a code sent to the user's email or phone.
The new password replaces the breached one when the reverification completes. If the reverification also requires a second factor, that comes first.
The rest of the behavior:
Change password in UserProfile: the modal reuses the password the user already typed in the form, so they only enter the code. The copy says "save your new password" instead of "reset", and the form skips its automatic retry, so the password changes once and one notification is sent.
Rejected new password (weak, breached, or same as current): the user goes back to the new-password step with the error, and the code stays usable.
No reset factor offered (the user has no email or phone, or the instance disables password reverification): the inline error shows, as before.
The screens reuse sign-in's pieces instead of copies: the Password compromised screen is the reverification AlternativeMethods card in a pwned or passwordCompromised mode, like SignIn's. As in sign-in, it shows the "Having trouble?" footer, and after a rejected password it has no back link to the password field, since re-entering that password can't work. The user can still pick another method or close the modal.
API
SessionVerificationFirstFactor now includes ResetPasswordEmailCodeFactor | ResetPasswordPhoneCodeFactor.
session.prepareFirstFactorVerification() accepts both reset strategies.
session.attemptFirstFactorVerification() accepts SessionVerifyResetPasswordAttempt (code, the new password, optional signOutOfOtherSessions).
The internal modal props gain resetPassword and an afterVerification({ passwordReset }) result. useReverification is unchanged.
Custom flows can build the same reset with these types.
The matching backend change, which adds the reset strategies to reverification. Ship this only after that's live in production; until then the backend never offers a reset factor, and the modal behaves as today.
Testing
Unit tests cover:
UVFactorOne.test.tsx: breached and compromised screens, the full reset, a rejected new password, a wrong code, the second factor, back navigation, and the change-password shortcut.
PasswordSection.test.tsx: the retry is skipped after a reset, and runs after other methods.
Session.test.ts: request bodies for both reset strategies.
Manually against a local backend using the sandbox with a user whose password was set to a breached one:
adding an email
UserProfile change password
a multi_factor reverification with TOTP, both completed and abandoned before the TOTP step

… by resetting it
When reverification rejected a password as found in a breach or
compromised, the modal only showed the error. Users whose password was
the only way to verify couldn't make any protected change, including
changing that password.
The modal now offers the reset sign-in already has: a "Password
compromised" screen with "Reset your password" and the other methods,
then a new password, then a code sent to the user's email or phone. The
new password replaces the breached one when the reverification
completes, after a second factor if one is required.
From UserProfile's change password form, the modal reuses the password
the user already entered, so they only enter the code, and the form
skips its automatic retry so the password changes once.
session.prepareFirstFactorVerification() and
attemptFirstFactorVerification() accept reset_password_email_code and
reset_password_phone_code, so custom flows can build the same reset.
The change adds email- and phone-code password reset to reverification for compromised or breached passwords. It extends session verification types and requests, adds password-reset screens and error handling, and adds reverification localization keys across locale resources. UserProfile now passes a pending password into reverification and uses the verification result to decide whether to reload the user or retry the password update.

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (72%): __internal_LocalizationResource is used only as the base for LocalizationResource extends DeepPartial<DeepLocalizationWithoutObjects<__internal_LocalizationResource>>, so consumers read/extend the partial version; the change adds ~27 new lines of localization keys to this output/base type, which existing consumers neither pass nor need to implement, making this an additive change.

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (80%): afterVerification changed from () => void to (result?: __internal_UserVerificationResult) => void — adding an optional parameter to a callback that consumers supply means existing zero-argument implementations still satisfy the new type (a function accepting no args is assignable to a type expecting an optional arg); the new resetPassword property is also optional, so existing consumers passing this type need no changes.

Drop the copied UVPasswordPwnedMethods card. AlternativeMethods now takes a
mode prop ('default' | 'pwned' | 'passwordCompromised'), as in SignIn, and the
shared reset-password strings move to userVerification.resetPasswordAlternativeMethods.

When supportedFirstFactors contains both reset-code strategies, .find() keeps only the first. factorHasLocalStrategy excludes reset strategies from the generic alternatives list, so the other factor is not offered. Retain both reset factors and let the user choose before preparing a code.
