Ok, so a lot of people seem to be getting the authentication error today, if you are getting it:
-Try using the resume button to take you back to the last server that you played.
-If you know how to use direct connect to get onto whichever server you play on (easy if you play realms) then use that. If you don't know how, search the forums before asking.
-Make sure that you are typing your username and password in correctly, check it and double check it.
-Make sure that you are using java 6 (Not java 7).
-Delete all World of Minecraft client files from your computer and re-install it.
(Please stop making more topics about it, we have noticed that there is an error, any more topics I see that don't bring anything new will be deleted)
We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Mine don't works too.
I just wipe my PC of all World of Minecraft files then reinstalled all new from download, I check and rechecked my password. I check my java it is java 6 update 33. Everything is just as it should be but still not working properly.
Well I guess it must be something with the World of Minecraft system, I have sent a message to moujave, just gotta sit tight until he comes on.
I re-downloaded won but still won't work
Try using the resume button to take you back to the last server that you played.
Says Login failed!
-If you know how to use direct connect to get onto whichever server you play on (easy if you play realms) then use that. If you don't know how, search the forums before asking.
Says that it is not a direct connect url when it is.
-Make sure that you are typing your username and password in correctly, check it and double check it.
Im 100% sure im doing it correctly. I tried like 10 times. I even changed the password, and it keep saying same thing.
-Make sure that you are using java 6 (Not java 7).
Already did.
-Delete all World of Minecraft client files from your computer and re-install it.
Did too.
Nothing works.
Ive done all of this, wiped it, java checked, checked,rechecked pass (the server I usually play on is down, Idk the DC url).....
I did all as you suggested. It just happened to me today. Well . . . this sucks.
nothing is working for me too
it's not just on windows, I am on linux. And I am getting the same error as you guys with this. just so you know it's not just on windows.
I got correct java and correct info. I tried redownloading it but I can't extract the stuff from the file :/. How would i do that direct connect thing and do you think it will just fix itself??
It is highly unlikely that it will fix itself, we need moujave to appear to sort out the problem.
When will moujave fix this? I really want to play on World of Minecraft. I tried everything.
I do not know when that will be.
Thanks for your help :)
how can i down grade my java?
Yeah if you can get the direct connect (mc://123.45.67.890:0000/yournamehere/a123456789abcdefg)<-- [ so not a real link do not click] for the server you like to play on it will connect you. If being the important part.lol for more direct connect info check the treads there's one somewhere on here.
Edit: Ok I found it for more direct connect help adn info check out this>> http://www.worldofminecraft.com/content/getting-direct-connect-url-locked
I hope it is fixed soon because I can't play on minecraft.net because it is not supported by Ubuntu :(
The DC when i try to, it says the server is down, and when i enter in Minecraft.net it is always on.
is it fixed yet?
i cant even get onto the irc... did u put it down cause people are complaining?
Undecided, that don't works.
When I got back on World of Minecraft after a month's break, I noticed I was getting an authentication error. Then I read where you said to have Java 6 installed. Well I have both Java 6 and Java 7. Should It work where I have Java 6 installed.
*Update* Nevermind, The next time I tried connecting, it connected

The client seems to be working fine for me, and quite a few others, so it doesn't seem to be a complete fail of the system as we have had before :P
