In Magento 1.9.4.5 problem overriding controllers

I have followed few instructions found in this forum, but I must be missing something. I am trying to override Customer controller, specifically _welcomeCustomer method. Here is what I have got:

Magento version: 1.9.4.5;
Namespace: WebKutir;
Module: Module_Authenticator;

/app/code/local/WebKutir/Module/Authenticator/etc/config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <WebKutir_Module_Authenticator>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </WebKutir_Module_Authenticator>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <customer>
                <args>
                    <modules>
                        <WebKutir_Module_Authenticator before="Mage_Customer">WebKutir_Module_Authenticator</WebKutir_Module_Authenticator>
                    </modules>
                </args>
            </customer>
        </routers>
    </frontend>
</config>

/app/etc/modules/WebKutir_Module_Authenticator.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <WebKutir_Module_Authenticator>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
            <depends>
                <Mage_Customer />
            </depends>
        </WebKutir_Module_Authenticator>
    </modules>
</config>

/app/code/local/WebKutir/Module/Authenticator/controllers/AccountController.php:

<?php
require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Customer') . DS . 'AccountController.php';
class WebKutir_Module_Authenticator_controllers_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController
{
    /**
     * Add welcome message and send new account email.
     * Returns success URL
     *
     * @param Mage_Customer_Model_Customer $customer
     * @param bool $isJustConfirmed
     * @return string
     */
    protected function _welcomeCustomer(Mage_Customer_Model_Customer $customer, $isJustConfirmed = false)
    {
        $this->_getSession()->addSuccess(
            $this->__('Thank you for registering with %s.', Mage::app()->getStore()->getFrontendName())
        );

        $successUrl = $this->_getUrl('*/*/index', array('_secure' => true));
        if ($this->_getSession()->getBeforeAuthUrl()) {
            $successUrl = $this->_getSession()->getBeforeAuthUrl(true);
        }
        return $successUrl;
    }
}

I have flushed cache, custom module is visible via magento admin panel, but still the system is using Mage core files for Customer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
