I have the same problem.
logins are not working from Webbrowser any more.

I can use Android app, i can mount my account with gnome online-accounts, can up and download files via this two ways, but login via webbrowser is not possible.

I tried it with local user and ldap-user, i deactivated the ldap-plugin, i tried it with hardware-token (nitrokey), but i always be redirected to the login-page.

nextcloud.log says only “User not authenticated” - in debug-mode.

when i try webauthn and click on login, i get in nginx
" http fastcgi header: "Status: 412 Precondition failed""

I tried Firefox, Firefox on android, firefox klar, chromium on linux, mull on android.

Something seems broken in the Webfrontend

# sudo -u www-data php occ status

  - versionstring: 24.0.3
  - edition: 
  - maintenance: false

  - extendedSupport: false

The installation gets more and more useless as browser sessions run out…starting to not being viable to run anymore.
24.0.4RC1 does not fix it.

I deleted everything except data/ and config/ .
Then I reinstalled the archive and all apps.

In case I have to do it again, here is a bash script.
