Fix "The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance"

[/u/tocaunt]

Few hours ago TLS certificate has been modified at sessionserver.mojang.com which caused "The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance" error on all Minecraft versions up to 1.16.5 (because of Java 8) Failed to log in: The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance. Downdetector The root cause is that Java 8 (before 8u91) default truststore lacks the DigiCert Global Root G2 that now anchors *.mojang.com (issued by Microsoft Azure RSA TLS Issuing CA 04). Mojangs may fix this themselves by switching back to root that is bundled in Java 8. As a temporary fix - users can tell the JVM to use truststore that includes DigiCert Global Root G2. FIX:​ Download this trust store that includes DigiCert Global Root G2 Add the following JVM arguments in whatever launcher you use: -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="C:\mojang-trust.jks" -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit -Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2 https://preview.redd.it/zb8bfmxqrys...bp&s=cffdcf06328a5a5669d30754a443c0cb5a6ef9ae Simply save the file above on disk C:\ as I did and use exactly same JVM arguments or update the file path to where you saved it. submitted by /u/tocaunt [link] [comments]
