When trying to upload a score to .com the error code 401 indicates that the client request has not been completed because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the requested resource.
You need to login on the site .com or via the MuseScore software, see: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/share-scores-online#direct .
Done all that, is it a caching issue?

I used the Upload button on Musescore.com, and it seems to be working.
There errors were when I used the Publish button in the Musescore app.

It should also work with the Publish button.
Some have reported that it works if you log out, then close and reopen the MuseScore app and log in again.

You have my sympathies. Yes, the logging out and restarting musescore seems to work sometimes. And if that also fails, I have resorted to creating a new score and jettisoning the old, which is a real shame. There are so many glitches with this publishing process that I throw my hands up in despair. Reporting these problems to musescore.com does not appear to have any effect. And as to the correct way to upload a score is concerned, there are quite a few anomalies in the user experience i.e. the upload screens; it can be very confusing.
Also, what is the difference between doing an upload from muscore.com via the Update file button, and publishing from within a musescore score? The help text doesn't really explain.

The upload button in musescore.com gives slightly different screens, and it doesnt have the screen that errors in the app
What I suspect is that when MuseScore starts up, it authenticates. What I believe is that those credentials get stale and when you try to upload, they are out of date and no longer valid. Just save the file locally, restart MuseScore and it will get new credentials and save online just fine.

When you say Save Online...?. I never use this, I always save locally. Is saving online the same as publishing? I work on a Windows desktop, not a phone.

Another way I find that sometimes resets the situation is to blank out the source field in the properties section of the score.

Publishing creates a new version that is separate from the local copy.
I don't know specifically what system they are using but most work in a similar manner. They don't use your username and password to access. They instead generate a token to authenticate each time and it has a predetermined time limit that it is valid.
When Musescore starts up, it gets an updated list of scores you have published for the "recent files" (Possibly just checking that they are still there but what counts is that it uses your credentials to access your account (as it should be.) Later, when you might want to access the musescore.com site, the credentials may have expired (again, as it should be so people can't use old credentials to access your data)
Most times, you don't leave the program running long enough for it to be an issue and you don't even notice.
Personally, I just make it a routine to save locally before I try to publish online. If it has expired, I get the same error. All I do is close down the program and start it again and then it will publish online with no issue.

I always save locally, no matter what, and then I do the uploady thing
