Various pages displaying “Customer Login” instead of their proper page title as defined in the xml page

My Contact Us page, Password Reset, Forgotten password and possibly a few other pages are having their page title overriten to say “Customer Login”. I have a feeling that the culprit is located here,…

vendormagentomodule-customerBlockFormLogin.php

    protected function _prepareLayout()
    {
        $this->pageConfig->getTitle()->set(__('Customer Login'));
        return parent::_prepareLayout();
    }

My layout files seem to be ignored and the title does not actually change. For example,

< ?xml version="1.0"?>


    
        Forgot Your Password
    
    
        
            
                Password forgotten

does not actually do anything

I was able to find some hints on this stack post but it did not seem to do the trick.
