Can't install Fortawesome/react-fontawesome

[rodneybejabeng]

when I run npm install --save @fortawesome/react-fontawesome to my project directory I get this error message:
npm ERR! code E401
npm ERR! Incorrect or missing password.
npm ERR! If you were trying to login, change your password, create an
npm ERR! authentication token or enable two-factor authentication then
npm ERR! that means you likely typed your password in incorrectly.
npm ERR! Please try again, or recover your password at:

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/bigrod/.npm/_logs/2022-08-01T17_55_06_397Z-debug-0.log

my terminal recognizes that I'm already logged in with the correct credentials so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm unable to install over font awesome library also.
