Comment (by ferdoused):

 The scenario mentioned in #comment:30, "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" might not be relevant and can
 be exempt from testing because in the SC 3.3.7 success criteria it's
 mentioned that,

   "This success criterion does not add a requirement to store information
 between sessions. A process is defined on the basis of an activity and is
 not applicable when a user returns after closing a session or navigating
 away."

 The Understanding document (https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding
 /redundant-entry.html) explicitly says this does not add a requirement to
 store information between sessions. A process is defined by the activity,
 and the criterion is not applicable when the user returns after closing a
 session or navigating away. That wording covers cross-device scenarios: if
 you’ve finished the password reset on one device and later sign in on
 another device/session, SC 3.3.7 doesn’t require the site to propagate
 that previous entry to the other device.
