Identify Existing User node
Verifies a user exists based on an identifying attribute, such as an email address, then makes the value of a specified attribute available in the shared node state.
Use this node in a forgotten password flow to fetch a username to email to the user. To display the username on the screen, use the Display Username node instead.
