Add confirmation when opening a password reset link if already logged into WordPress.com with a different account #44091

Open

Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Request a password reset account for account A
  2. Log into WordPress.com using account B
  3. Open the password reset link for account A on the same browser where account B is already logged in

What I expected

I would expect a message letting me know that I am already logged into account B and asking me to confirm if I want to continue using account B or if I want to log out and proceed to reset account A instead.

What happened instead

I was sent to the dashboard for account B (the one I was already logged in) without any notifications or messages, which makes it seem as the password link for account A does not work

Browser / OS version

MacOS 10.13.6 (17G2307)
Google Chrome 79.0.3945.88
