Set session after clicking on account verification link in email

Question 💬

Hey all, for a project I've set up a working next-auth flow with a credentials provider and JWT. I can sign in/sign out, get my user from my session, all of that is working fine.
The flow for new users is currently:

1. register with email/password
2. api sends a verification email with link to a frontend endpoint, which verifies the users
3. redirect to custom login page on success where next-auth signin gets called.

We are now looking if we can simplify this flow by skipping the redirect to the login page. The api can log the user in on successful verification and return a token and user object (same as on login), but how can we get this in the session?

We can't call signin as we don't know the password of the user at that point. Is there any other entry at that point that we could use to set the session?

Thanks in advance!

Not really reproduce-able I think
