@trjExpensify User B asked to enter the magic code and I received it.

Cool yeah, so that seems expected then.

1. User B was invited to Expensify
2. They didn't click the link in the email which would have provided an unvalidated first session if they did
3. They navigated to new.expensify.com natively and entered their email address
4. They were prompted for a magic code to sign-in
5. They received the magic code on email, entered it, and validated the account
