Description
### Describe the bug
In my auth flow, I have "Failed attempts before cancel" set to 5 in my Password Stage. If I then fail the password 5 times, the flow successfully ends as expected.
However, if I go back to the login page, and try again with either the same or a different user, I can now try the password stage more than 5 times (seems to be indefinite).
Running Authentik 2026.2.1 with Docker.
### How to reproduce
Try logging in 5 times using bad password.
After Flow fails, click "GO Back" or "Not You"
Try again - can attempt password more than 5 times.
### Expected behavior
Flow always ends after 5 password failures during stage.
