I was thinking in this case the accessCodeId could be passed as a query parameter, which would allow the account management pages to verify that the user is logged in, but at the same not enable SSO to applications (as the cookie isn't set yet). An alternative I was thinking of was that the SkeletonKeyToken could have the status added to it, but I don't like that approach as that would require applications to check the status. Any other suggestions?

Sorry, disregard my previous email.  I read your blurb too quick.

Yes, you would need to pass along the accessCodeId along to the account 
management pages if an action is required.  Another option might be to 
set a session cookie for the accessCode and destroying this cookie when 
the browser is finally redirected back to the application.

The application should not be aware of Keycloak auth server specifics, 
so I don't think adding account state to the SkeletonKeyToken is a good 
idea at the moment.
