Chris Kingy Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Just bought Minecraft and downloaded tekkit launcher when I try to log in it tells me that my username/password combo is wrong when I know it isn't (tried doing it with a new password) n.b. using windows 8.1 Quote
Chris Kingy Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 It comes up with "ForbiddenOperationException", saying Invalid Credentials. Invalid username and password. Quote
Moderators Munaus Posted January 28, 2014 Moderators Posted January 28, 2014 Try to log in through Mojang's own launcher, that's the only way to know whether you are using the correct username/password Quote
freakachu Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 also keep in mind that your username will actually be your email address that you used to create your minecraft account. Quote
Torezu Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 also keep in mind that your username will actually be your email address that you used to create your minecraft account. That's unless you're one of those fortunate few that can still use their IGN for login because they never converted their account. Quote
rcmaehl Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 That's unless you're one of those fortunate few that can still use their IGN for login because they never converted their account. It's both a blessing and a curse. I broke the launcher once because my account was legacy. (Minecraft auth servers kept sending "null" instead of a response.) Quote
isakhejnesen Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Isnt this a topic that should be in the Bugs Section ? Quote
Torezu Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Isnt this a topic that should be in the Bugs Section ? Nah. It's not really a bug. More like a feature. Quote
Moderators Munaus Posted February 14, 2014 Moderators Posted February 14, 2014 That's unless you're one of those fortunate few that can still use their IGN for login because they never converted their account. I was worried that I was gonna get slapped for this sooner or later. I've used my ign to log in all the time... I was wondering if the launcher was gonna go "nu-uh dude! Use your email!" Quote
Anormalcat Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 That's unless you're one of those fortunate few that can still use their IGN for login because they never converted their account. I did that. And i regret the hell out of it. There's no way to undo it either (And it wants personal information, So smeg that) Quote
