Morozond Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hey guys, I have being trying to log on to the Technic platform recently with the details I know are correct because I am able to log on to the website with them. Just wandering if anyone can tell me what's going on? Thanks guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neowulf Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 So you're asking what's going on when you log into the webpage with credentials that work? See, there's this thing called Authentication. The server compares your provided username and password with what it has on record and associates your computer with that identification if they match, for purposes of granting or denying access to website features. It's actually really complicated when you get into the internals and involves multiple stages of request/response and building an encrypted connection based on mutual trust of a 3rd party. There are lots of whitepapers detailing the full process of login used by these websites if you're really interested. They can do a much better job explaining the discrete steps and algorithms used.

Morozond Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 NoNo, xD I mean that I cannot log on to the actual launcher with credentials which are correct. But I can log in to the website with them.I cannot play the game atm because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neowulf Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 You use your minecraft credentials to log into the launcher, the same ones you play vanilla minecraft with the official mojang launcher. Not technic platform or forums credentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
