Proposal

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

Error message still displayed after removing incorrect code

What is the root cause of that problem?

When a wrong magic code is entered we display error message for account.errors.id here

App/src/components/ValidateCodeActionModal/ValidateCodeForm/BaseValidateCodeForm.tsx

Line 205 in c24d217

errorText={formError?.validateCode ? translate(formError?.validateCode) : ErrorUtils.getLatestErrorMessage(account ?? {})}

And on text input change we are not clearing the error message from account.errors here

App/src/components/ValidateCodeActionModal/ValidateCodeForm/BaseValidateCodeForm.tsx

Lines 165 to 172 in c24d217

	const onTextInput = useCallback(
	(text: string) => {
	setValidateCode(text);
	setFormError({});
	if (validateError) {
	clearError();
	User.clearValidateCodeActionError('actionVerified');

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

We should clear the error from account.errors here

if (account.errors) {
                Session.clearAccountMessages();
            }

Note: we need to add account.errors to the onTextInput callback dependency list

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
