Cannot log in - Session hijacking warning

I'm running V1.32.1, and for a while now I cannot log into my wiki anymore; I get the message "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form."

Searching for this issue, I found different suggestions regarding the cache settings, but none of them seem to have an effect. What I'm using now is

$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;

$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;


The weird thing is, it works in Edge, but not Brave (the browser I'm normally using). And, even weirder, it works if I start a private session. I tried disabling all extensions, and deleted all cookies, but that didn't help.

that would strongly suggest something is messed up with your cookies on your browser.

Check also ad blockers and the like.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too — that's why I disabled all extensions and deleted all site cookies, but the problem persists...

yeah the same problem arised with me too, is there anyone who can guide me in keeping my account safe from the threats which they are talking about

This isn't an answer as such, but I had the same thing recently, after a minor upgrade and move to new server - that message with my usual browser, but not with other ones - after messing about with clearing browser cache, LocalSettings.php as above etc, it just started working again by itself after a day or so.
