Question "Username/password required, retrying..." Loop

I've had Calibre-Server up and running on a remote Linux server for a few weeks now and no problems.

As of yesterday however, whenever I connect via one particular browser, I can see that I'm logged in from the landing page, as it shows me the 'Continue Reading...' thumbnail:



But, when I click on the 'Choose Library..' option to view my library, I just get an eternal "Username/password required, retrying..." message:



A look at the browser dev tools console shows that the page is constantly reloading but generating an 'Unauthorized' response:



which makes it look like the login session cookie has become corrupted or expired. So I delete the cookie. But now when I visit the landing page, I'm met with the 'You are not authorised...' error, which I can't clear.



I thought quitting and restarting the browser would bring up the login dialogue again, but it doesn't.

So where do I go from here? I thought deleting the cookie would suffice to trigger a prompt to login again and create a new session. But obviously not.

And, just to reiterate; this has been working fine up until yesterday and the problem only exists with this [Chrome based] browser. I can still visit the site in Firefox and all works fine. So pretty sure the problem lies with the login session on this particular browser. But there doesn't seem to be a user-friendly way to clear / logout the session.
