      I'm not sure what has happened. Suddenly I can't login with any browsers on my Windows 10 desktop. It reports an incorrect login/password. However, I still can login with my Android mobile phone.

      Any suggestions what has happened and how to solve it.

      Thank you

        Whatever it is, it's something we couldn't have seen.
        You are our last hope.

        and how to solve it.

        The phone works, so make it useful : look at the log while you try to login from your PC.

        When I logged in with a browser, I saw :

        2021-07-02 16:56:23.047556+02:00 	php-fpm 	57272 	/index.php: Successful login for user 'admin' from: 2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::88 (Local Database)
        

        Using another browser, from the same PC, using a wrong password :

        2021-07-02 16:56:48.427027+02:00 	php-fpm 	49571 	/index.php: webConfigurator authentication error for user 'admin' from: 2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::88
        

        and a :

        2021-07-02 16:56:48.484064+02:00 	sshguard 	62299 	Attack from "2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::88" on service unknown service with danger 10.
        

        a second one :

        2021-07-02 16:57:06.938048+02:00 	php-fpm 	49571 	/index.php: webConfigurator authentication error for user 'admin' from: 2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::88
        

        Now comes :

        2021-07-02 16:57:06.938303+02:00 	sshguard 	62299 	Attack from "2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::88" on service unknown service with danger 10.
        

        and a

        2021-07-02 16:57:06.938386+02:00 	sshguard 	62299 	Blocking "2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::88/128" for 110 secs (2 attacks in 18 secs, after 1 abuses over 18 secs.)
        

        Now both browsers are 'locked out' as they use the same IP.

        The web server couldn't even update the page any more :

        2021-07-02 16:57:06.000000+02:00 	nginx 	- 	2021/07/02 16:57:06 [crit] 36881#100306: *273 SSL_write() failed (13: Permission denied) while processing HTTP/2 connection, client: 2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::88, server: [::]:443
        

        After a couple of seconds, my browser gets smart, and uses it's IPv4 :

        2021-07-02 16:58:12.118235+02:00 	php-fpm 	49571 	/index.php: Successful login for user 'admin' from: 192.168.1.2 (Local Database)
        

        edit : this is just one possible scenario.
        Many other are possible.
        and that works.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
