You are getting yourself into trouble by confusing the concept of
authentication and concept of browsing session.

Authentication is at its core a yes/no binary value about whether the
client is who they say they are.
 eg. are you actually "santosh"? yes/no.

What you are asking is only doable by changing the users credentials,
so the browser cannot use the old ones any more AND in such a way that
the browser cannot automatically find out what the new ones are.

eg. offering users one-time logins which get erased or marked invalid
in the authentication backend system. With the 407 page delivered
containing instructions to get a new one-time password. So if they
press cancel on the browser popup they can follow that process, then
login again.
