Describe the issue you are experiencing

When trying to log in to my Home Assistant instance using the companion app (minimal version), or using IronFox with all extensions disabled, it fails with nothing but a "Start over" button, and a notification in Home Assistant: "Login attempt or request with invalid authentication".

When I use Vanadium (GrapheneOS's Chromium fork), I can log in just fine. It also works in a private tab in IronFox.

I'm using a password manager so I am 100% sure I'm using the same username/password.

Describe the behavior you expected

The log in to succeed, or fail with a meaningful error.
