I've had an account since Alpha, and I've had the downloadable Minecraft launcher since October of last year. It's been working fine until recently I've found that I can't log in. Whenever I type in my username and password, it says "Unable to log in. Try again or play offline." So I've been playing offline for a few days. I'm playing vanilla 1.8.1, with no mods installed.
Has anyone had this problem before, or know of a fix? I'll e-mail the Mojang support thing if it's still a problem, I'm just wondering if there's an easier fix. Thanks for any help.
Are you behind a firewall or router that could be blocking the ports?
I am also having this issue. It's not just one router I've been using, it's multiple. I can't seem to figure it out. Do you think it might have to do with firewalls restricting my login?
I'm on a MAC computer and I just tried turning off my firewall and logging back in to Minecraft again.. and to no avail. I just don't know what's going on here...
Are you talking about the classic just a login launcher, if so then save that and download the new one, my classic launcher no longer works and i gave up and stopped trying,(i think that they stopped supporting it at 1.8), i keep it to show all the noobs, still just go to the minecraft.net site and download it again.

Your Welcome, It is good to know im not the only one who had that problem. It freaked me out too because that is my default launcher when I use the quick launch stuff.

I'm going to try this, one sec.
EDIT: It works, thanks! I had my other launcher since September of last year, and now that you mentioned it, it did stop working around the release of 1.8. Thanks for helping me, and the other guy with this problem out.

try backing up your worlds and whatever else you care about and do a full reset along with resetting your router
if that fails disable firewall really fast and try (remember to put it back on).

I'll check, but I don't think so. I've been using this router for a while, and the logins have been working fine.
