It is the browser that caches the username/password, and avoids them
having to enter it again.  The only way to "delete" something from that
cache is to fail the authentication once (send back the appropriate HTTP
response for "authentication failed; try again").

If you're doing this with a script, then you might be able to do that
based on time.

A number of sites use their own login forms, and HTTP Cookies (which can
have timeouts) for basically this reason.
