Hi @dannyd21850928,
This is a very generic issue with AEM. Please find below the steps to fix the issue regarding the issue related to the Authentication Error message.
1. Please login to http://<hostname>:<port>/lc/system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.granite.repository.hc.impl.DefaultLog...
2. Under 'Logins', please remove 'author:author' or 'admin:admin' and click on save.
Thanks

More context :
The login health check in AEM periodically checks if default username and password of account admin and author has been changed or not from default author:author and admin:admin.
This "author" account is not a built-in user, but used as a demo user for we-retail demo site. You can suppress the warnings by deleting the user as suggested above.
