Firebase Authentication only allows sending a password reset email to the currently signed in user. You can't send a password reset email to another user, as that would open the system up to abuse.

To implement the flow you describe, you'll need to implement your own email sending, and password reset. You can use the Firebase Admin SDK to handle the Firebase aspects of it (get the user, update password), but will need to find another system to send email, and implement your own verification code.
