Description

From forum discussion: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/163581/is-logout-without-popup-possible/10.

Turning out the logout popup turns out logout altogether.

In some cases, captive pages are hosted externally and are able to know the state of the user and provide a logout button.
In these cases the logout popup is not necessary. Moreover the popup is not great for UX and blocked on most modern browsers.

Is turning off the logout feature when disabling the popup desirable?

I would argue that we could leave the logout feature always on regardless.

Alternatively, there could be another checkbox which allows controlling whether the logout should be enabled or not.

I would like to know the opinion of the maintainers on what could be the best way to implement this change.
