Answer from AI
Unauthorized (401) error occurs when a request to the server requires authentication, but it was not provided or is incorrect (for example, wrong login/password, expired token).
Common reasons:
- Missing credentials (no
Authorizationheader). - Incorrect format of the
Authorizationheader. - Invalid credentials (wrong login/password).
- Expired or invalid authentication token (e.g., JWT, OAuth token).
- Attempting to access a resource that requires authentication without logging in first.
- Authentication process failure on the server side.
