Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

In Step 4, 2FA page does not show "Code requested. Please check your device."
It only shows the message (Step 8) after user opens Contact method page in Step 6.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are calculating hasMagicCodeBeenSent based on login data and this is not correct when we are calling API resendValidateCode so in step 4 we don't see "Code requested. Please check your device." message

after entering contact method loginData?.validateCodeSent is updated so we go back to 2FA it will show

App/src/pages/settings/Security/TwoFactorAuth/Steps/CodesStep.tsx

Line 51 in b2d6a0e

const hasMagicCodeBeenSent = !!loginData?.validateCodeSent;

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should change this line to use ONYXKEYS.VALIDATE_ACTION_CODE

    const [validateCodeAction] = useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.VALIDATE_ACTION_CODE);
    const hasMagicCodeBeenSent = !!validateCodeAction?.validateCodeSent;
