SharePoint site prompt username and password

Question

Everything is working fine but I have a strange behavior.
When I leave my office and came after 1 hour , the site is asking to enter user name and password.
In the same browser, and the same session, when I open a new tab, add the same url, it's working without prompt. The URL is of trusted site.
I am sure it's not a permissions issue.
Is there a session timeout or something like this?

Issue happened in Chrome and IE is set to login with the current user and password!

Yes, there is session time out in SharePoint. By default, SharePoint has a 10-hour session timeout. But, your admins can change it through Central Administration settings or using powershell.

Using Central Admin:
Open Central Administration -> Application Management -> Manage web application -> Select Your web application -> Click on General Settings -> Here in web page security validation section you can set the session time out period as shown below :

Using Powershell:
You can find the script here.

Whether you use IE browser?

If that’s the case, go to Tools->Internet options->Security tab->Local intranet->Custom level->scroll down to user authentication section, select “Automatic logon with current user name and password” and check again.
