AWS Amplify - Is there an API to validate the code sent using forgotPassword and change the password after the validation?

Question

I'm using cognito user pools for user management and using the flow of forgotPassword a confirmation code is sent to the user. For UI purposes I need to validate the code that is sent when I call the API ForgotPassword without sending the new password yet. I need like a middle step between ForgotPassword and ConfirmForgotPassword.

The function below is the one sending the code:

Auth.forgotPassword(username)

This function is resetting the password with the code sent (here I'm notified if the code is invalid)

Auth.forgotPasswordSubmit(username, code, new_password)

Is it possible to only validate the code sent with the existing API's available?

Here a link with information: https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/auth/manageusers/q/platform/js#forgot-password

Did you ever work this out? I am currently searching for the same answer. Is there a way to get it to verify all fields and return all errors at once, and just send an empty string for the password? – Owe

I couldn't find a way to do it. I ended up collecting in the UI the two parameters required code and the new password with a stepper component, then I called the API with all the required parameters. – Roundtheclock
