The authentication is cleared when you exit Chrome.

Note however, that by default Chrome is running apps in the background, so it may not really exit even if you close all Chrome windows. You can either change this behavior under advanced setting, or e.g. under Windows, you can completely exit Chrome by using the Chrome icon in the systray. There should be an icon if Chrome is still running, but maybe you'll find it only in the popup with the hidden icons. The context menu of the Chrome icon has an entry to completely exit Chrome, and you can also change the setting for running apps in the background using that menu.
