To verify the request, you must log in with valid credentials. The 401 Unauthorized Error message may appear differently on various websites, as they may use slightly different names. For instance, you could encounter variations such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HTTP Error 401<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Error 401 \u2013 Unauthorized<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>401 Unauthorized<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authorization Required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>401 Authorization Required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unauthorized access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HTTP Error 401 \u2013 Unauthorized<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>401 \u2013 Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are five main classes or categories of HTTP status codes you need to understand because they often appear in communication between the server and client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Informational responses 1xx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Status codes in this category provide information to the client that the server has received the request and is in the process of processing it. While they do not indicate success or error, these codes are useful for providing some indication that the server has received the request and that more information may be forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Successful responses 2xx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This status code indicates that the request made by the client has been successfully processed by the server. This code indicates that the requested operation was successfully completed without significant errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Redirection messages 3xx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Status codes in this category tell clients that they need to make a redirect or change in their request to get a response from the server. This code often occurs when a page or resource has moved or changed its location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Client error responses 4xx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Status codes in this category indicate an error in the request sent by the client. This error can occur if the request is invalid or the client does not have permission to access the requested resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Server error responses 5xx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Status codes in this category indicate that there is an error on the server side when processing a request from the client. This error can be caused by various factors, such as excessive server workload, software problems, or other internal problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-causes-the-401-Unauthorized-Error\"><\/span>What causes the 401 Unauthorized Error?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the 401 Unauthorized error can occur because the website owner does not provide you with proof of legal authority to access their website. This proof of authority can be in the form of a username or password. So, this error message could appear because you entered the wrong username and password or haven&#8217;t registered on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lack of access due to lack of proof of authority is not the only thing that could cause this error message to appear. Apart from that, several things cause the 401 Unauthorized error message to appear. There are several causes for this error to appear, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No access<\/strong><br>As a visitor, you can only access the pages intended for visitors only. You cannot access the pages intended for website owners or admins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website protection<\/strong><br>Your hosting provider or server administrator will usually display a 401 error message as a protective measure if they detect many login attempts at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problematic plugins<\/strong><br>For example, plugins in WordPress could be the cause of the 401 Unauthorized error problem. Some WordPress security plugins can lock the admin dashboard if there is a brute-force attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The server refuses<\/strong><br>Even if all the information you provide is correct, the 401 Unauthorized error may still occur because the server refuses. It is possible that you are banned or that there is some problem on the server side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Fix-401-Unauthorized-Error\"><\/span>How to Fix 401 Unauthorized Error<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For website visitors and owners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Website owners can also implement the solutions to resolve 401 errors for website visitors, as shown below. Here are three ways to overcome HTTP 401 Unauthorized if you are a website visitor who experiences a 401 Unauthorized error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Incorrect URL<\/strong><br>Cross-check the URL you are trying to access and ensure it&#8217;s correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Purge browser cache<\/strong><br>Navigate to your browser&#8217;s configuration page and clear or purge the cache<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flush DNS cache<\/strong><br>On your computer, try to flush your DNS cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the 401 Unauthorized Errors for Website Owners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deactivate all plugins<\/strong><br>Try to deactivate all plugins at once and enable them one by one<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Purge the website&#8217;s cache<\/strong><br>If your website uses a caching plugin, try to purge it or disable it temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Delete the directory&#8217;s password<\/strong><br>Check the URL or directory you are trying to access, and delete the password or disable the protection temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check Firewall<br><\/strong>Your server&#8217;s firewall may block your IP address due to invalid login attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it! You have learned about the 401 Unauthorized Error message and how to fix it. Of course, you don\u2019t have to follow and fix the 401 unauthorized issues yourself.
