Seems to be a random and very annoying issue unfortunately. All I can suggest is keep trying, I actually just spent the last week getting the same error and then it suddenly worked this morning.

If you haven't you could try logging onto the World of Minecraft forum here first and then try running the client at the same time and see if that makes a difference.

Ok...

Unable to authenticate username/password, possible reasons:

  • Minecraft.net servers are having intermittent issues - they are currently going through upgrades, so be patient?
  • You AREN'T using your minecraft.net username/password
  • You are getting your username incorrect
  • You are using an outdated client which doesn't actually work anymore
    - due to upgrades at minecraft.net for authentication any client less
    then 1.9.0 doesn't work.
  • You need sufficient admins privileges to run the World of Minecraft Game Client, trying moving it to C:\

When connecting to a server and it disconnects:

  • The server might have hacks disabled
  • They reject any users with the World of Minecraft Game Client
  • You are banned and they changed the protocol to say otherwise
  • There server is down and still in the cached list

To be honest, the list is endless.

Also search the forums it already exists or even try http://womjr.com/debug
