Description

Describe the bug
OneTimeTokenAuthenticationProvider does not set Principal correctly

To Reproduce
Log in via OneTimeToken with custom UserDetails with i.e. email additional field

Expected behavior
OneTimeTokenAuthenticationToken should have email field present in Principal

Bug

By my opinion bug is in line:

authenticated.setDetails(otpAuthenticationToken.getDetails());

otpAuthenticationToken is unathenticated token and does not have details!

line should probably be:

authenticated.setDetails(user);

Start at OneTimeTokenAuthenticationProvider.authenticate and inspect how the authenticated token's principal and details are populated. Reproduce the flow with a custom UserDetails containing an email field, then verify that the resulting OneTimeTokenAuthenticationToken exposes that field in its principal.
