I just came here after encountering this issue. I was able to work around by setting Cookie Control to Allow all cookies for accounts.google.com, after which my two-factor push immediately started working.

I've got the same issue -- Brave browser shows immediate 2FA failure although my phone receives (Yes|No) prompt successfully. I have to fall back to Google Authenticator. Other details identical except for OS which is Win 7 (x64).

+1 from community (see # 16 in this post: https://community.brave.com/t/issue-small-bugs-found-in-first-couple-hours-of-using-brave/5075)

Also getting this with Chrome Version 60.0.3112.113 and Android.
Chrome instantly shows “Your sign-in attempt timed out. Resend the prompt to try again.” and does not react when I tap yes on the phone

I also getting in with resembling problem.
"One tap auth" doesn't work.
When I get prompt from google to my phone, brave shows me "time out" dialogue without second.

My enviroment is

Wiindows10 32bit
brave 0.19.53 reve09025b

Strangely, google chrome on same device works normaly.
Only brave deny my access.

I'm developing a http proxy and for some reasons I have the same error with "One tap auth" regardless of the browser. Any idea what might cause that?

+1 from #12196

Same problem here. Need to use Google Authenticator

This is definitely still a problem in normal tabs and private tabs. End up having to use sms to authenticate.

I have a slightly different issue, but related. 2FA does not work in Brave even with shields down when using a Yubikey:

This is for github, gitlab, and basically any 2FA site I tried. It works perfectly fine in Chrome.
Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@freimer Yeah, Brave doesn't seem to support Fido U2F, as the Yubikey won't flash to prompt. 🙁

Actually, this works with brave-beta...

This may have been fixed with https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/11401 in 0.22.x (if you imported from Chrome)

For folks experiencing this: can you please try our 0.22.x release?
https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/releases/tag/v0.22.9dev

@bsclifton Does indeed sort it. Thanks Brian!

@csleary awesome! I'll close this issue for now- let's re-open if 0.22.x does not work for you (as @freimer mentioned, beta is on the 0.22.x version, which is why it worked)

How's this closed? The crap's still going on. If you can't fix it don't close it. Incompetent.

@zeroxxx2 it's not closed actually. It was thought that a patch earlier this year fixed it (which it didn't) and the issue was re-opened (back in May)

...and then closed/re-opened again right now, because I clicked the wrong button 😛

Allow all cookies

Same critical issues as it preventing usinge most common webapps, any progress?

For folks experiencing this problem: can you please try out new Beta release?
https://brave.com/download-beta

You should be able to import everything from your existing Brave install (except Brave Payments- for that, you'd want to export your wallet). The problem should be fixed there

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to address this issue with this code-base. My recommendation would be to try the Beta and if the problem persists, let me know and I can help create an issue in our new repository:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

Looks like this is possibly still an issue in our new code-base; issue is being tracked with https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/1356

Can confirm. Experiencing this issue as of this morning.
