… (GA and NR) **Why**: Password reset tokens on the url for the password reset page are leaked to third party sites. **How**: Implement redirection from the url with the token after validation to the url without it while saving the token in session.

I know the HackerOne ticket is only for password reset, but do we have this same issue for email confirmation and another other token-based auth? |

The only other spot I know is on account creation which would seem to be less of a security concern because you haven't setup your account yet. The other token based urls seem to redirect properly (ie change email, etc.) |

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_toin a controller, use_url, not_path.When adding user data to the session, use the
user_sessionhelperinstead of the
sessionhelper so the data does not persist beyond the user'ssession.
When adding a new controller that requires the user to be fully
authenticated, make sure to add
before_action :confirm_two_factor_authenticated.
