Unable to sign-in to VMware vSphere VCenter

I am getting a username and password are required error. I have put in the correct username/password, as that has not changed in a very long time. Any ideas how to get past the login screen? Screenshot attached.

The issue was our certificate was expired. We have renewed the certificates on  vCenter and fixed the login issue.

Try different web browser or use Chrome’s Incognito/Firefox Private mode and check whether login is possible or not.

If the answer is yes try to clear web browser cookies.
