Comment (by flixos90):

 In today's PHP meeting we discussed the following (in addition to the
 great suggestions here):

 * When the user logs out, should we automatically exit recovery mode then?
 Three arguments for this:
     * We can't really integrate with the frontend of WordPress, as we
 don't know what the theme looks like, and we shouldn't auto-show the admin
 bar in the frontend, as many plugins likely don't expect that and run
 their custom code unconditionally.
     * A user might forget to manually exit recovery mode, possibly even
 expecting that logging out also logs out of recovery mode. If they want to
 re-enter recovery mode, they can do so, because the rate limit for getting
 a recovery email is reset when they exit recovery mode.
     * While recovery mode is technically entered before the user logs in,
 they are expected to log in in the next step. So from a user standpoint,
 it already feels like it is tied to login.

 @karmatosed @melchoyce Thoughts?
