I have been doing development on Magento 2 since couple of months and suddenly my Admin panel stopped logging in and gives following error

What is the issue and why can't I login?
Best Answer
Delete your var/generation , var/cache , var/page_cache folder.
After that run php bin/magento setup:di:compile command.
It will compile and generate the factory class and depended proxy classes.
Lastly clear the cache by php bin/magento cache:clean command
