Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the JavaScript code that validates passwords for incoming verification requests, then inspect how an empty string is distinguished from a missing password. Done means an explicitly empty password is accepted while an absent password remains handled according to the existing behavior, with relevant tests updated or added.
