Browsers think that, if a 401 is returned, then the user should re-authenticate. So 401stands for invalid authentication while 403 stands for a lack of permission. Here are some cases under that logic where an errorwould be returned from authentication or authorization, with important phrases bolded.

Answer:

Give below is the answer

Explanation:

The client request has not been fulfilled because it does not contain proper authentication credentials for the requested resource, as indicated by the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 401 Unauthorized response status code.

This status code is sent together with an HTTP WWW-Authenticate response header that includes instructions on how the client can request the resource once more following a request for authentication credentials from the user.

This status code is comparable to the 403 Forbidden status code, with the exception that user authentication may be possible in circumstances leading to this status code, allowing access to the resource. Whether the WordPress site is your own or someone else's, it is at best annoying to try to access it and be greeted by an error page. Similar to many other HTTP response codes, a 401 error so frustrating is the lack of information it offers for diagnosing and resolving the issue.

The 401 error can happen with any browser, so it’s a pretty common issue people face. In most cases, this problem is relatively simple and straightforward to fix.
