Have you ever find yourself stuck in this error?! Then well my friend you are not alone!
As I was setting up the environment to build our company’s chatOps, I stumbled upon this error and it was indeed a nightmare!!!
I was trying to download Babel for Typescript’s compiler and ran
npm install — save-dev @babel/preset-typescript
after that my nightmare started!
This error
npm ERR! code E401
npm ERR! Incorrect or missing password.
npm ERR! If you were trying to login, change your password, create an
npm ERR! authentication token or enable two-factor authentication then
npm ERR! that means you likely typed your password in incorrectly.
npm ERR! Please try again, or recover your password at:

npm ERR! If you were doing some other operation then your saved credentials are

npm ERR! npm login
popped up and I had to go over a series of trial and error of googling, fixing and doing it again and again and again.
After 3 days of trying, I could solve it over some Jack Daniel’s and Godiva chocolate. That’s easy right lol. How I wish it was that simple!
