Description of problem:

In the Quay 3.16.0 new UI, clicking the "Forgot Password?" button on the login page and entering a valid email address will send an account recovery email.

The redirect link in the account recovery email only can redirect to the old UI, can not redirect to the new UI. If Quay's current cookie points to the new UI, it will redirect to a 404 page.
