fix(ui): send the code when switching to another factor with the same strategy by alexcarpenter · Pull Request #10739 · clerk/javascript

alexcarpenter · 2026-11-10T14:12:16Z

Description

Fixes <SignIn /> not sending a code when a user switches to a second phone number or email address. On first factor, the code form skipped the initial send whenever a verification with the same strategy was pending, without checking which phone or email it was for. Going phone A → password → phone B showed "Check your phone" for B, but nothing was sent until the user pressed Resend. With two email_code factors, switching from one email to the other the same way also sent nothing.

The form now skips the initial send for a pending verification only if the factor is the one last prepared, or the factor the screen opened with. Reloading while a code is pending still doesn't resend.
For a known user, FAPI returns one email_code factor per verified email and one phone_code factor per verified phone, each with its own email_address_id / phone_number_id. first_factor_verification has no identification ID, so the pending check can only match on strategy and channel. With enumeration protection on, only the typed identifier is listed, so this case doesn't come up there.

Walkthrough

The sign-in flow now tracks the previous factor and passes an initial-factor flag to verification forms. Pending-verification checks use this flag when evaluating the selected factor. New tests cover switching between phone numbers and email addresses, including whether a pending code is resent. A patch changeset documents the fix.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Suggested reviewers: mauricioabreu, zourzouvillys

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2cbef

Returning to a phone or email factor with a pending code can send another code. This is a bounded issue, but it should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Test the return to A after preparing B.

The child test covers a reachable prop combination, but it does not exercise the parent’s last-prepared tracking. Add a parent-level A→B→A test that waits for B’s preparation to succeed and asserts that A is prepared again. The pending verification after preparing B is not evidence that A is still pending.

Preserve the initially pending factor when switching away and back.

If the screen opens with a pending code, the prepared-factor key remains empty. Switching to password and back makes isInitialFactor false, so the form can send the code again.

Record the initially pending factor as the last prepared factor. Update that key when another factor is prepared. Add a parent-level test for this switch-back path.
