This issue is with all versions of sitecore above 9.1 containing the sitecore identity to login.
To fix this you need to perform following three steps
1) Create a config file and paste the below chunk of code into that file and name it as "z.unicorn.fix.config".

<configuration>
    <sitecore>
        <pipelines>
            <owin.cookieAuthentication.validateIdentity>
                <processor type="Sitecore.Owin.Authentication.Pipelines.CookieAuthentication.ValidateIdentity.ValidateSiteNeutralPaths, Sitecore.Owin.Authentication">
                    <siteNeutralPaths hint="list">
                        <path hint="unicorn">/unicorn.aspx</path>
                    </siteNeutralPaths>
                </processor>
            </owin.cookieAuthentication.validateIdentity>
        </pipelines>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

2)Place this file under your include folder of Unicorn for example following location:

<Project-root-path>\App_Config\Include\Unicorn


3)Now restart your IIS site and go to Unicorn control panel to verify the fix.
