Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: A syntax error in the 'generates_token_for' block evaluation prevented password reset and email verification tokens from expiring on credential changes, allowing stale tokens to remain active.

Auth Bypass: The use of 'allow_blank: true' in password validations allowed users to register with empty or whitespace-only passwords. Changing this to 'allow_nil: true' enforces strong password checks.

Information Disclosure: Raw TOTP secret keys were leaked to the client side via HTML parameters inside hidden form fields instead of being kept secure on the database during registration.
