 * I’m having the same issue… I receive:
 * authentication failed: Got 401 calling POST….., triggering auth refresh.
 * I have wordfence installed with bruteforce detection enabled (tried turning off
   and on… no luck).
 * Wordpress sends my admin email a message about a suspicious login attempt.
 * Are there known conflicts with wordfence – or other conflicts with wordpress 
   authentication and access?

 * Did either of you solve the 401 authentication error?

 * We use Zapier extensively throughout our business and I need to get this working
   but the Plugin page says our version of WordPress is currently not supported.
   Installed it anyway, when I attempt to connect, I get the following:
 * authentication failed: Got 401 calling POST [https://affluentexteriors.com/wp-json/zapier/v1/token](https://affluentexteriors.com/wp-json/zapier/v1/token),
   triggering auth refresh.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 * I found the problem, but not the solution 🙁 (still investigating on it..)
    It
   seems it’s ReCaptcha blocking the connection between Zapier and WP.
