Make sure your account credentials are correct. Also, linking your account to another service like Google or Facebook might solve it.
Hot take: Sometimes, it’s just the servers being overloaded. Try again in a bit.
If Pokemon GO is unable to authenticate, double-check your internet connection and make sure it's stable. Sometimes, server issues on Niantic's end can also cause this.
