Error: Failed to verify username

If you are experiencing a "Failed to verify username" error when trying to connect to Minecraft, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Close Minecraft:

   • Make sure to exit the Minecraft game completely. If it's running in the background, close it by right-clicking on the Minecraft icon in the taskbar or using the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc on Windows, Command+Option+Esc on macOS) to end the Minecraft process.

2. Log out and log back in:

   • Open the Minecraft launcher on your computer.

   • Look for the "Log Out" or "Logout" option in the launcher's interface and click on it to log out of your Minecraft account.

   • After logging out, enter your Minecraft account's email address and password in the appropriate fields and click on the "Log In" or "Login" button to log back in.

3. Check for multiple sessions:

   • Having multiple instances of your Minecraft account logged in simultaneously can cause validation errors. Ensure that you are not logged in on any other devices or Minecraft launchers while trying to connect to the server.

   • If you were logged in elsewhere, log out of the account on those devices or launchers.

   • Once you have logged out of all other instances, log back in using the steps mentioned in the previous point.

4. Verify account type:

   • Minecraft servers typically require premium accounts (also known as paid accounts) to join. If you or someone trying to join the server is using a non-premium or cracked account, it can result in validation errors.

   • If you have a non-premium account and want to join a server that only allows premium accounts, you will need to upgrade your account to a premium one to resolve the issue.

   • Alternatively, if you have control over the server settings, you can disable online mode on the server. This will allow players with non-premium accounts to join. Keep in mind that disabling online mode can affect the security and integrity of the server.

5. Check Mojang server status:

   • Mojang's authentication servers can sometimes experience issues, which can lead to verification errors.

   • To check the status of Mojang's servers, visit the Mojang help site (https://help.mojang.com) and look for the server status page. This page will provide information on the current status of Mojang's services, including authentication servers.

   • Additionally, you can follow the official @MojangStatus Twitter account for real-time updates on the status of Minecraft and Mojang services.

If you have followed all these steps and the issue persists, it's possible that the problem lies with the specific Minecraft server. Please submit a ticket
