Old isn't always better.
Also, I love how you say that everybody knows the meaning of those words yet you feel compelled to provide the meaning. Doesn't really make a good case in your favour.
I highly doubt laymen would understand the difference when using "authorize" and "authenticate" as opposed to "permission" and "login". I would bet you $100 in bitcoin that most people would understand the latter.
