So this could happen if your dev server is in a different domain to your client machine. Or if your browser does not recognize the dev url as being in the intranet zone.

    Is there any way to force all environments to promt users for credentilas knowing that they all have the default Windows authentication?

      So windows auth is specificly designed to avoid re-prompting users for their password if it can. I'm not a windows auth expert, but the only way I know of doing this globally is to make a group policy change in your domain to set the urls of your pbirs servers to the "internet" zone.
