Auth: signIn always returns { challengeName : "NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED" }

Describe the bug The Auth.signIn() function always returns a new password challenge in the user object: { challengeName : "NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED" }, even after doing Auth.completeNewPassword()

The user status is “CONFIRMED” in the AWS Cognito user list.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new user
2. Start sign in flow:

signIn(username, password )
      .then(user => {
        if ((user.challengeName == 'NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED')) {
          this._setCompletePasswordState(user);
        } else {
          this.props.onSignIn(user);
        }
      })

1. Start complete password flow:

completeNewPassword(params)
      .then(response => {
        console.log('password changed: ', response);
        this.props.onSignIn();
      })

1. Log out
2. Log back in and inspect user payload

Expected behavior I think the challengeName should be empty

Additional context I am currently getting around this by running checkCurrentAuth() after signIn() and using a catch to detect if the user needs to reset their password:

 signIn({ username, password })
      .then(user => {
        checkCurrentAuth()
          .then(() => {
            this.props.onSignIn(user);
          })
          .catch(() => {
            this._setCompletePasswordState(user);
          });
      })

You appear to be asigning the value to user.challengeName instead of reading it.

I think if (user.challengeName = 'NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED') should be if (user.challengeName === 'NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED') ?
