Hello there @fleshka4 please accept my apologies for this issue. Could you please try opening your main profile in private or guest mode to see if if you are able to complete your log in? If it does, try disabling your extensions to see if this is the cause of the issue.

You can open a Guest Window by going to Main menu --> Open Guest window:

  1. On your computer, open Brave.
  2. At the top right, click Menu → More tools → Extensions.
  3. On to the extension you want to remove, click Remove.
  4. Confirm by clicking Remove.

Let me know if that works.

Hello! I have tried your suggested solution. It works in Guest Window, but in default environment - not. I have no extensions for now

@fleshka4 the issue may be due to a configuration on your main profile that’s preventing you from log in to the sites you require.

Please on your shields settings try setting everything to default and removing any filters you may have enabled to see if the issue solved.

Be waiting for your response.


Is that default settings?

Blocking all cookies, will break things. Not the default here. Change to “Only cross site”

@fleshka4 as @fanboynz mentioned, change your Block cookies setting to Block cross-site cookies as blocking them all will affect some sites and may the cause of your issue.

Let me know if that works.
