Quick summary

After creating an account with a new email to comment on a site, you receive a verification link via email. It redirects to the Reader instead of the flow you were in.

The verification link has a redirect_to param. Reported here: p1697640711073149/1697634622.150289-slack-C029GN3KD

Steps to reproduce

  1. In incognito visit a page with a form ( atomic site )
  2. You will get prompted to login
  3. Clicking login, get's you to WP.com login page where I selected to create an account with email
  4. I entered an unused email
  5. I got asked to verify my email
  6. Clicking the email verification link, landed me in Reader - The problem seems to be the URL of the verification link.

What you expected to happen
