0 Nethaufer Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 1. Do you have a paid account? If yes, go to 2. If no, go to 3. 2. If you do have a paid account, search the forum for a topic that is related to yours. There is a 100% chance that there is. 3. If you do not have a paid account, go buy one, and then try to log in. 4. If it fails after this, attempt step 2. Quote
0 2samspan Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 Didn't find anything like it. So can someone give me an idea? Also, my account is premium. Quote
0 linkthegamer Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Didn't find anything like it. So can someone give me an idea? Also, my account is premium. Did you make the account recently or change your password recently? If so try your EMAIL as your username. Quote
0 Bgraves Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I have the exact same problem as the OP, but your solution didn't work. Quote
0 2samspan Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 Did you make the account recently or change your password recently? If so try your EMAIL as your username. It's not new and this only started happening a few days ago. Quote
0 Jay? Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Try changing your password with mojang, and then logging in after about an hour. Quote
0 Cheap Shot Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 This isn't a common problem, so most likely the issue is somewhere on your end. Either with your account, or with settings on your computer. It will be difficult to trouble shoot log in issues like this. Try everything you can find and if all else fails maybe someone can still help you if you post more info. Quote
0 2samspan Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 I'm not entirely sure what else to add. I'm able to log on to the normal Minecraft client. However, this happened around the same time I began trying to make a Tekkit server. If it helps any, I'm also on a Mac. Quote
0 Nethaufer Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Well, do you have a firewall that automatically blocks things trying to get access to the internet? I know Window's Firewall (a crummy piece of crap that blocks game trying to connect to the internet and not have the courtesy to minimize it) does it all the time. Try adding it to your firewall's exceptions. Quote
0 2samspan Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 The firewall is off, but still doesn't work. I feel it has something to do with that automatic server making thing for Mac Casper made. Quote
0 2samspan Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 That didn't fix it. I will copy and paste what it says when I try to open up anything and play through the launcher. Unable to authenticate account with minecraft.net. I'm not sure how to fix this. I've tried re downloading it but to no avail. Quote
0 2samspan Posted April 19, 2012 Author Posted April 19, 2012 Please, can someone help. I have absolutely no idea whats wrong. Quote
0 jakj Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Like Cheap Shot said, not enough info (NEI!). Check your firewall, check your antivirus, check your gateway/router/modem, check your backyard... ...or post actual, useful info. Quote
0 miradoprime Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I had this issue recently. When I first started using Technic I never had issues logging in, until about a week ago. I was "Unable to connect to minecraft.net" the launcher would say, every time I went to play. I tried to fix it by first making a backup of my .techniclauncher folder and deleting the lastlogin file. No dice so I restored the backup and tried just clearing the cache, still no luck. I then deleted the whole folder and tried redownloading everything, still no luck. I restored my backup then checked the forums, and after trying to log in with my e-mail that I used for my Mojang account I no longer have the login issues. My guess is that it isn't client side, or the launcher. Mojang must have changed something in their authentication system. Quote
0 2samspan Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Finally, someone else with this problem. I don't know why. It is just so weird. All of a sudden it just started happening. After I press the login button when I put in my username and password, it loads for a second, then says "Unable to authenticate account with minecraft.net. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! Quote
0 Jay? Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Try logging in with your Email instead of playername. Quote
0 2samspan Posted May 3, 2012 Author Posted May 3, 2012 It does the same thing. I am just hopelessly lost on this. Quote
0 miniboxer Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 *snicker snack*(NEI!) TMI no wrk, it no lets meh chet :'( EDIT: about your problem: change your password, then try logging in with your new password with both your username and your email. Quote
