Reasons for the 401 server error and how to resolve it on the user side
When accessing some sites (or individual pages of these sites), the visitor must go through certain stages of obtaining rights:
- Identification – obtaining your account (“identity”) by username/login or email.
- Authentication – checking that you know the password for this account.
- Authorization is a check of your role (status) in the system and a decision to provide access to the requested page or resource under certain conditions.
Most users save their data by default in their browser history, which allows them to quickly identify themselves on the most frequently visited pages and sync settings between devices. This method is convenient for surfing the Internet, but can lead to problems with the security of access to confidential information. If you have a large number of authorized registration data for various sites, use a strong master password that blocks access to information stored in the browser.
The most common reason for an error code 401 for the average user is entering incorrect data when visiting a certain resource. In this and other cases, you should try the following:
- Check that the URL is spelled correctly in the address bar. This is especially true for navigating to subpages of the site that require authorization. Please enter the correct address. If you accessed the page after logging into your account, log out, return to the main page and log in again with the correct credentials.
- If you log in with saved user data and a 401 server error appears, check their correctness in the appropriate settings of this browser. You may have changed your login information in another browser. You can also clear the cache, delete cookies and try to log in again. When deleting browser history or clearing the cache, you will need to manually enter your login and password to gain access. If you don't remember your password, go through the recovery procedure by following the instructions.
- If you believe that you are entering the correct registration information, but cannot access the site, contact the resource administrator. In this case, it is best to take a screenshot of the problematic page.
- Sometimes blocking occurs on the provider’s side, which also leads to a denial of access and a message with 401 encoding. To check, you can try to log in to the same resource from an alternative IP address (for example, using a VPN). If you confirm that your traffic is blocked, contact your provider and follow their instructions.
Some large Internet resources with a large number of subscribers use additional settings to ensure access security. For example, your account may be blocked if you repeatedly attempt unsuccessful authorization. Too frequent attempts to connect may be perceived as the actions of a bot. In this case, you will see a corresponding message, but may simply be redirected to a page with a 401 code. Contact the site administrator and resolve the problem.
Sometimes simply reloading the problematic page, logging out of the current session, or using a different web browser completely solves the 401 login error problem.
