I sympathise with the author wanting to make the meaning of these more obvious, but login is not a good synonym for authentication.
Login implies the process of obtaining a session by providing some credentials; this is not the same as authenticating, which can be achieved without requiring a session (e.g. bearer token).
I do quite like permissions for authorisation though.
