Wi-Fi network allows users to connect to internet by connecting to the wi-fi router. Whenever you try to connect to a wi-fi network, it will ask for a password and after entering the password, it saves the network details on the system. Later, if in case you are facing an authentication problem on your laptop, it means that the network security password is changed. In order to solve this, you need to forget the wi-fi network on your system which clears the saved wi-fi network details such as password and you can connect to the network with the new password again.
