Comment (by lukasfritzedev):

 I discussed this issue briefly with @joedolson on the contributor day. He
 suggested there is another case that should be taken into consideration:
 The user tries to login on one device, i.e. a desktop PC, but opens the
 email and completes the resetting flow on another device, i.e. a
 smartphone. In this case the user might want to login on the desktop PC
 afterwards. So I'd assume, the cases listed by @oglekler in #comment:8
 should be supplemented by this case:

 5. Login after requesting new password

 Case 3. (Login after unsuccessful Login) was marked with a checkmark (✅).
 I assume this is, because it is already implemented in core.
