How do I log out with HTTP Basic?
Browsers rarely make it easy to log out of a site once you've logged on with HTTP Basic authentication. How can I do this?
(This form of authentication is rarely used on the public web, but the intranet I'm on uses it all the time. It's the one where you get a pop-up dialog asking you for a username and password.)

Log in with a nonsense user using the address bar. For example, if you logged on to http://codereview.internal.company, enter this:
http://logout:logout@codereview.internal.company

For chrome browser you can restart the chrome application completely by typing in the address bar.
chrome://restart
Another way is that, always open the browser in incognito mode. For chrome the shortcut is
ctrl + shift + n
Another way you can try it out is that, try to give wrong credentials if you want to logout. Say,
randometxt@localhost:3000
*sometimes, this works.
