Proposal

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

Two factor auth code disappear when change the screen size

What is the root cause of that problem?

When users press Two factor authentication in Security page, we call API EnableTwoFactorAuth to fetch recoveryCodes and show it in TwoFactorAuthentication page.
In this page, if users change the screen size from large to small, the modal will be unmounted then mounted again, that make this function is called

App/src/pages/settings/Security/TwoFactorAuth/CodesPage.js

Line 54 in 79f18ec

TwoFactorAuthActions.clearTwoFactorAuthData();

So we clear recoveryCodes without the logic to fetch it again

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

We should move this function Session.toggleTwoFactorAuth(true); from SecuritySettingsPage to below this line

App/src/pages/settings/Security/TwoFactorAuth/CodesPage.js

Line 52 in 79f18ec

useEffect(() => {

like what DisablePage component did with Session.toggleTwoFactorAuth(false);
So when the component is mounted, we can fetch recoveryCodes again
