Step 2: Verify flow initialization
GET {{authPath}}/{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}}
You can use the GET /{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}} endpoint to verify the flow initialization. The response from the authorize request contains the flow ID needed in the request URL. When you run this request, specifying this flow ID, the response returns the initial flow status, which is USERNAME_PASSWORD_REQUIRED.
