In which case why is the password reset my problem at all?

But even if I've handed off identity management entirely, I almost certainly do have some per-user state. Otherwise... what on earth am I doing with users in the first place?

Well, maybe because the 3rd party service is not reliable or you want to send an additional mail.

But okay, fair point - password-reset is maybe not the greatest example. But it doesn't invalidate the general point (I gave a couple of other examples).

Maybe just making sure that the user is known and has paid for plan X (if the 3rd party service offers that).
