      Hi team,

      When attempting to access a repo (or following a link from email) - if you're not logged in to your Bitbucket Cloud account, you receive a 404 error with a login button, and the way the message is worded can be misleading:

      You may not have access to this repository or it no longer exists in this workspace. If you think this repository exists and you have access, make sure you are authenticated.
      Return to the previous page or go back to your dashboard.
      

      If we could instead redirect users straight to the login page, or at least display 401 (Unauthenticated) with improved wording, this would reduce confusion.
