I am following the article Article to implement OKTA authentication in a React app.
Upon login, I am receiving the below error even though I am providing the correct credentials.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

This looks like a straight-forward credentials error or a sign-on policy error. Can you check if the user you are trying to use to login to the React application has a profile available in the OKTA dashboard? and also if the passwords and usernames are correct.
The /authn endpoint you are hitting returns an 401 in three scenarios (A 401 Unauthorized Status Code).
- is returned for requests with invalid credentials,
- If the user is a locked-out account.
- or when access is denied by a sign-on policy.
So you may need to validate if the three reasons are checked out and check the Okta System Logs to see what the real reason is.

In addition to what @krishna mentioned, double check that this is a local Okta user and that their credentials aren’t sourced (and only available) within an external Identity Provider.
