Answer 1

Just add this code after your onSuccess: function (result) { ... }, within your login function. Your user will then have status CONFIRMED.

newPasswordRequired: function(userAttributes, requiredAttributes) {
    // User was signed up by an admin and must provide new
    // password and required attributes, if any, to complete
    // authentication.

    // the api doesn't accept this field back
    delete userAttributes.email_verified;

    // unsure about this field, but I don't send this back
    delete userAttributes.phone_number_verified;

    // Get these details and call
    cognitoUser.completeNewPasswordChallenge(newPassword, userAttributes, this);
}
