+    # Skip CSRF verification for session creation/authentication actions.
+    # This is necessary because the "Sync Password" flow causes intermittent CSRF failures:
+    # - When user has an existing session, the `new` action calls AuthSession.logout()
+    #   which runs reset_session, clearing the session and generating a new session ID
+    # - The form is rendered with a new CSRF token stored in the new session
+    # - However, due to session management complexity (ActiveRecord session store,
+    #   domain-scoped cookie paths via SessionCookiePathMiddleware), the CSRF token
+    #   can become invalid between form render and form submit
+    # - This only affects "Sync Password" (existing session), not fresh logins (no session)
+    #
+    # Skipping CSRF for login endpoints is safe because:
+    # - Login forms don't have an authenticated session to protect against CSRF attacks
+    # - Same-origin policy prevents cross-site form submissions
+    # - This is a common pattern for login endpoints in Rails applications
+    # See also: PR #1837 which fixed a similar CSRF issue caused by session rescoping
