Problem with Joomla Login

I fail when attempting to login to my joomla site back-end even with “Shields Down”. I can login to the same site successfully on other browsers (chrome, firefox).

  • It is an https site.
  • Brave is “Shields down” on this site.
  • Intentionally entering incorrect credentials creates expected errors.
  • Entering correct credentials just refreshes login form.
  • Below is the form html joomla generates in the Brave browser.
  • Removing the two-factor security key feature has no effect.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you.
