When I try to login to my Bitbucket in brave browser, Atlassian displays the error below:

You may run into this issue when you use specific browsers or add-ons that hide the referrer header for id.atlassian.com and other Atlassian sites. Check for these and then try logging in again.'

Is there any way to fix this?

A workaround is to disable the shield while you perform the login action.

For a permanent fix, id.atlassian.com needs to be added to the Whitelist of Referrer Headers in Brave.

It seems it's already there in GitHub: https://github.com/brave/referrer-whitelist/blob/master/data/ReferrerWhitelist.json

However, you may have to use a beta version or clone the repository with the latest whitelist for it to work for you.

In my case I found the file under:

/home/<username>/snap/brave/84/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/<afa...al>/1.0.35/1/ReferrerWhitelist.json

But a simple find ~ -name ReferrerWhitelist.json will throw the exact location for you.

Not sure where the file will be stored on a Windows or Mac client, though. On a Mac, it should be almost identical to Linux. On Windows, the file is likely to show up under %LOCALAPPDATA%\BraveSoftware\ or %APPDATA%\BraveSoftware\.

  • Turning off brave shields worked for me. But I want to know where do I paste the json file of the whitelist?

  • I edited my answer with the details as to where to find the file on a Linux box. Finding it on a Mac should be almost identical. On a Windows box, search your machine for the file.
