Could be. I don't know if the semantics fit or not, that feature was targeted at branching off to other authentication methods (not sure password reset would qualify).
That was really a primitive attempt to start modeling the stuff I ended up doing from scratch for MFA. I suspect you might be better off having the Password flow signal back an event, and using the MFA logic to branch off from that.
Less nesting and less weirdness that way.
