Resend Validation Code button when validation is disabled still works

[strobe878]

I have the system account setting "Validate email addresses" disabled. When I click the "Resend Validation Code" button on the login form, I would kinda expect to see this message (which I see in the Language settings):

"Account validation is currently disabled"

but instead I get

"Resend validation code to the email address on file for this account?"

and when I click OK:

"No validation is pending for this account."

This seems like a bug, but actually I think it would be even better to hide that button when validation is disabled.

That button is still needed for resetting the player's password (and resending if needed), which works even if you disabled the "Validate email addresses" setting.

It's not needed, though, you can just use the Reset My Password button.

The purpose is to resend the same code (instead of generating a new one) in case the email is slow or got caught by spam filters.

Ahhh . . . where does the "Account validation is currently disabled" message come into play?

When both "Validate email addresses" and "Allow password recovery" are disabled.
