Description

### Expected
When ever I click Log Out in the app I should be logged out and redirected to https://app.simplenote.com/login/

### Observed
Clicking log out in https://app.simplenote.com/settings/ after a password change does not log me out. Instead I am redirected to my notes at https://app.simplenote.com/

Research direction

Reproduce the flow from the settings page at https://app.simplenote.com/settings/ by changing the password, then use the account menu's Log Out action. Trace the logout behavior from that entry point and compare it with the expected redirect to https://app.simplenote.com/login/; done means logout after a password change redirects there instead of the notes page.
