Comment:

 Originally when `hide()` is called, only the `beforeunload.wp-auth-check`
 callback is disabled, but not `heartbeat-tick.wp-auth-check`. The latter
 is checking for the `wp-auth-check` value in the callback which can't be
 changed since the user is still logged out, we just don't want to display
 the popup constantly.

 If we deactivate the `heartbeat-tick.wp-auth-check` event handler the
 popup verification will be disabled as well until the next request is
 processed - and IMO other AJAX requests should behave properly and prevent
 non-authorized activities.
