had an expired npmrc token

Similar solution, I just copied the entire text after clicking on "Generate npm credentials", without looking at the actual text.

This happens if password recently expired or changed, will need to create new PAT, convert to base64 and update in your npmrc file. Detailed documentation is here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/devops/artifacts/npm/npmrc?view=azure-devops&tabs=windows#set-up-authentication-on-your-dev-box

Hi, already updated the PAT, still 401. Is there another issue that might cause that?
