Research direction

Start by locating the mutations that resend emails or change passwords and trace how the requester and target user IDs are handled. Confirm the intended behavior for mismatched IDs, then verify that those mutations deny the request while same-user requests continue to work; the issue names no files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Mutations of resend emails or passwords should ne denied if the user id is not equal to the requester id, it could be an easy check inside each mutations but I think there's a smarter way to do it
