Check the views in the Account folder and for each one that has an explicit model, make sure the (view)model is in the right namespace. Mouse over the m parameter (m => m.UserName ... etc) and make sure it is referencing the correct (view)model. In my case, I moved AccountViewModels to a different folder and the app broke as above. It appears the views are sort of "caching" the model from the original namespace. I used a silly fix (commented out the @model line and un-commented it back). Got warning that m is dynamic but when built and ran it worked. Looks like a glitch in VS 2013 RTM.
