Expired verification-link result in infinity verification request-loop and (at the end) browser (or part of it) crash

[exetico]

Most appropriate sections of the p5.js website?

User Verification process (Verify Email)

What is your operating system?

Mac OS

Web browser and version

Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition 121.0b2

Actual Behavior

I clicked the "Verify Email", and the page just mass looping through the verification process.

Expected Behavior

I expect the page to use the verification token once, and not spamming the p5.js backend.

If the token are invalid (or already used), tell me that it's invalid.

Steps to reproduce

Open a link with a invalid token like https://editor.p5js.org/verify?t=letthefunbegin (or a expired one)

And let the fun begin ;-) ....

I have Consent-O-meter + uBlock Origin installed in my browser.

I ended up in the situation, as I accidentally closed the verification tab just after I clicked the "Verify Email" button in the email. So I reopened the tab, and let me just say that I should be verificed a MASSIVE amount of times, as this point 😉.

Would you like to work on the issue?

Sadly, no. I dont have time to do so. But handling "undefined" data, and a expired link case, shouldn't take long 😃.

Also, it doenst really look like that's part of the repo:

This should be moved to the web editor repo but I do not have permission to move it. @Qianqianye @raclim

It's possible that this would be fixed by #2610 which addresses bad expectations in catch clauses and fixes the Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: can't access property "data" of undefined error.
