Description

Summary

Temporary accounts are shown a modified "Log out" button which has the link text changed to be "Exit session". However, the tooltip for the button continues to display as "Log out". This is confusing.

Note: in the future we will have an additional confirmation step before the user logs out. T378806: Add confirmation step to exit session flow for temp accounts
