 * I installed and followed step by step.
    Uploading json file is not working so
   I tried to add key manually. I probably use the wrong key? Cannot find the right
   one:
 * Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access
   token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See [https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project](https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project).
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-401-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
