Description

I'm using the Desktop App on Windows. When I logout of Rocket Chat, if I close the app (Quit), and reopen the app, I am automatically logged back in. This seems like a security problem. If I logout, I should stay logged out until actually logging back in.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported flow in the Windows Desktop App: log out, quit the app, reopen it, and check whether the session is restored. Done means that a user who logs out remains logged out after quitting and reopening until they explicitly log in again.
