          A password set or change.


          When the account already has a password, `current_password` is
          required and

          verified before the change is applied, so a hijacked session or CSRF
          cannot

          silently reset it (and lock out the real owner). When the account has
          no

          password yet (an SSO-only account setting its first one), there is
          nothing to

          re-authenticate against, so a fresh step-up `reauth_proof` is required
          instead

          — a live session alone must not mint a durable new credential.
