401 Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials
What broke
The application attempted to access a protected resource but failed to provide valid authentication credentials. This could happen if the user is not logged in or if the provided credentials are incorrect.
Why it broke
The error occurred because the server requires valid credentials to grant access, and the credentials supplied were either invalid or not provided at all. This is a common security measure to protect sensitive information.
How to fix
To resolve this issue, ensure that you are logged in with the correct credentials. If you are using an API, verify that the authentication token or credentials are correct and have not expired.
Code fix
Ensure you have the correct username and password, or update your API token in the request headers.Explained by ErrorOracle
