Slack conversation (hyperlinked to channel name): #open-source coming from #48208.

Action Performed:

Prerequisite: connect a workspace to Xero

1. Invite someone to the workspace connected to Xero, make them an admin
2. As the invited admin, sign-in to new.expensify.com

Expected Result:

This is an improvement

1. Show a full page modal instead of the alert modal
2. When Enable two factor authentication is clicked, open the 2FA enablement flow in the RHP
3. Upon completion of enabling 2FA: dismiss the blocking modal, load the account data, and navigate to the Inbox tab.

Web/Desktop:

Mobile:

Actual Result:

Because we don't load OpenApp until they enable 2FA the account looks totally broken:
