When strict user enumeration protection is enabled and a password manager fills the hidden instant-password field, an incorrect password keeps the user on SignInStart. Core 2 has no password-recovery action in that state, so users have to discover that clearing the password and continuing with only the identifier reveals the recovery flow.
What changed
Show a Forgot password? action whenever the instant-password field is visible.
Create an identifier-only sign-in and navigate to factor one with a temporary reset-password intent.
Open the reset-password alternatives directly, falling back to Use another method when no reset factor exists.
Clear the temporary intent when leaving the alternatives screen.
Add regression coverage for the reset-factor, no-reset-factor, and empty-identifier paths.
Core 2 adaptation
Ports the reviewed packages/ui fix into Core 2's bundled ClerkJS UI.
Applies the changeset to @clerk/clerk-js.
Deliberately leaves unrelated post-Core-2 sign-in behavior out of the backport.
