Failed to Authenticate Connection
A player is kicked with 'Failed to verify username' or 'Failed to authenticate your connection'. The server runs in online mode and could not validate the player's account against Mojang/Microsoft's session servers.
Mit jelent ez a hiba?
In online mode the server checks each login with the official session servers. This failure means that check did not succeed, commonly during an auth outage, or, behind a proxy, when IP forwarding is not configured so the backend cannot verify the player.
Failed to verify username! / Failed to authenticate your connection
Leggyakoribb okok
- A temporary Mojang/Microsoft authentication outage.
- A proxy (BungeeCord/Velocity) without correct IP forwarding to the backend.
- The backend in online mode while sitting behind a proxy (should be offline + forwarding).
- A mismatched forwarding secret (modern forwarding / BungeeGuard).
- A client-side session problem.
Hogyan diagnosztizálj
- Check whether everyone is affected (suggests an outage or proxy config) or just one player.
- Look at the Mojang/Microsoft status pages.
- If using a proxy, verify forwarding mode and secret match on both sides.
- Confirm online-mode settings are correct for your topology.
Ajánlott megoldások
- Wait out an auth outage
If Mojang/Microsoft auth is down, the fix is to wait, nothing is misconfigured locally. - Configure proxy forwarding
On BungeeCord/Velocity, enable IP forwarding and set the matching secret on each backend. - Set online-mode correctly
Behind a proxy, backends run offline mode with secure forwarding, never plain offline mode exposed publicly. - Match the forwarding secret
Ensure the Velocity modern-forwarding / BungeeGuard secret is identical on proxy and backends.

No, invalid session is a client-side login issue. This is the server failing to verify the account, often a proxy/outage matter.
Without proper IP forwarding, the backend cannot confirm the player's identity, so authentication fails.
Behind a proxy, backends use offline mode with secure forwarding so only the proxy authenticates, never exposed offline directly.
