Error message in Chrome when trying to log in to a bookmarked page in the content server

[Regina Kokk]

When attempting to log in to a bookmarked page of the content server in Chrome, the following error message is displayed: "Failed to load books from calibre library, with error:
Failed to communicate with "/interface-data/books-init?library_id=Kirjandus&sort=author_sort.asc%2C%20series.asc&1551973564863", with status: [401] Unauthorized"

Only happens when the user account in question is password protected.

Calibre versions 3.34 and 3.39.1
Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro
Browser: Google Chrome version 72

I got the same issue. Tried from Chrome 68 to the latest 73, none of them would work. All I did is just open a book and read some pages then try to refresh the page with F5, the error woudl occur. However when I try Firefox, there is no problem. Guess this is a Chrome compatibility bug.

To be mentioned, with user authentication enabled, I can never log out in Chrome. Attempted clear all cache data, restart chrome or even reboot my computer, the basic auth session is somehow still in Chrome browser and never go away. May be this is somehow related to the compatibility issue above?
