Chris Kingy Posted January 28, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Kingy Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 It comes up with "ForbiddenOperationException", saying Invalid Credentials. Invalid username and password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Munaus Posted January 28, 2014 Moderators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakachu Posted January 28, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torezu Posted February 14, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcmaehl Posted February 14, 2014 Share 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.)

Moderators Munaus Posted February 14, 2014 Moderators Share 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!"

Anormalcat Posted February 19, 2014 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
