Description

There does not appear to be a logout button for PhysioNet. To find out how to logout, the user has to navigate to the "Login or Create Account" page (not an obvious place to look), which explains that "to logout, simply close your web browser".

If I want to logout without closing my browser, I am asked to "click here, and enter a blank password", which essentially asks me to go to the login page and then enter an incorrect password, which is odd.

Start at the PhysioNet login page linked in the issue and trace the existing authentication and account-navigation flow. Done means users can find a logout control and end their session without closing the browser; no repository file or test is named, so the relevant entry point must first be located.
