Login button opens new tab unnecessarily

Steps to Reproduce
- In a new browser window, navigate to https://tower.nf
- Click the "Login" button in the top-right corner
Expected Behavior
The browser navigates to the login page, and then to my Tower dashboard
Actual Behavior
The browser opens a new tab, and that tab navigates to login, and then to my Tower dashboard
Context
Opening new browser windows on users has been considered impolite for over two decades now: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/the-top-ten-web-design-mistakes-of-1999/. In this instance, it is even more annoying because
- The dashboard url and the "landing page" url are the exact same
- I am automatically logged out of Tower so frequently (~every 3 hrs, but I haven't timed it)
Which means I tend to think I'm going directly to my dashboard, but will be forced into opening a new tab, instead.
Suggested Solution
Remove the target="_blank"
attribute from the login button on the main screen.
