[AWS] authentication: how to log out?

No. This is part of the browser not the server. Once you have been
authenticated the browser will send the authenticate data with each request.

It means that you are not using another browser but another window using the
same browser process.

If you want finer control over the authentication process you should use your
own scheme based on a form not the AWS.Response.Autenticate. Then you can
record the user/passwd into a set session variables. Those variables can have
a lifetime, see session support in the AWS's User Guide and AWS.Session spec.
