Well, I would say this was a "shucks" issue if my vanilla minecraft install didn't work perfectly. Maybe they should get the Technic launcher updated to use the newer launcher and authenticate with Mojang logins instead of the minecraft.net logins.

1.6 changed the way the vanilla launcher works. They cant update the technic launcher because

1. There is no 1.6+ version of a lot of the mods

2. They probably don't feel like dealing with the new launcher

3. It probably wouldn't work

Work is being done to get the launcher to work with 1.6.x.
