✅ As a new user, I want to sign in with a Password
Behavior from source: A returning user chooses password sign-in, enters an existing password, or uses six previously saved recovery words after Forgot password. Successful recovery returns the user to account selection when needed; a previously configured passkey is another way to regain access. Creating a new account is a last resort, not recovery of the old identity.

Source acceptance and behavior
Returning users see password and passkey options with Use another email.
Password entry has a show/hide toggle and Forgot password; Continue is disabled until a password is entered, incorrect password shows an inline error, and Back returns to sign-in options.
Forgot password opens recovery-word entry if the user does not use a password manager.
Ask for the six words saved during account creation; disable Continue until all fields are filled and allow pasted input in each field.
Wrong word order or an incorrect word fails recovery and permits retry; Back returns to the password screen.
Successful recovery displays Your identity is recovered, offers account selection when multiple accounts exist, and proceeds into the app with the selected account.
No recovery words offers a previously configured passkey or creation of a new account as a last resort; Back returns to recovery-word entry.
Too many incorrect passwords or recovery attempts opens the passkey/create-new-account options; the threshold is unspecified.
Closing the password dialog returns to the previous app state without data loss; Use another email clears previous session state.
Session expiry prompts re-authentication without losing context.
Unresolved source contradiction: replacement-account text says previous-data access is retained, but the no-passkey/no-words edge case requires a clear data-loss warning.
