Bad login on some servers
Well, I haven't played since last night, logged back in, went to multiplayer, clicked on the server I wanted, and it immediately told me "Failed to login: Bad Login"
I've confronted this issue before, but I'm not logged into my account anywhere (I'm the only one with access to it, and only use one server), aswell as followed the help on the support page, restarted my router, logged out and back in, etc. The strange part is, it's only for some servers. It says it's most likely computer->server problems, but it's there for some servers, and not there for some. My internet is fine, but this is quite confusing, and I frankly have no idea.

As stated in MC-40683 please wait patiently until Mojang fixes legacy sessions.
Howevery there won't be any changes to 1.6.4 clients as those are outdated.

Legacy sessions are having difficulties, try again later.
Still, I think this is a bug, because nobody with 1.6.4 can join ANY servers. Proof?

This seems not to be a temporary thing!
Same problem and how did you resolve it?
It isn't resolved, but this apparently doesn't meet the guidelines for the bug tracker.
Waiting is the only way at the moment...
I confirm the Bad Login issue is affecting many players using 1.6.4 trying to connect to multiplayer servers running 1.6.4.
1.7.2 servers are not giving this problem.
I will attach my detailed tests, but meanwhile,
please see reports at http://www.minecraftcc.com/index.php?threads/bad-login.6124/page-2
and at http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/2141011-bad-login-error-often/
From several months to two days ago I have never seen this problem on my various vanilla clean installs of minecraft. Now I see it on two different PCs, one Vista the other Windows 8. Nothing has changed on either machine since the last time minecraft was working. The Vista machine has been kept running since the last successful multiplayer connection, now it reports Bad Login for 1.6.4 servers. The Windows 8 machine has been restarted several times, the router has been restarted, all to no avail.
Detailed tests:
1. Download a fresh minecraft.exe from https://minecraft.net/download
It's SHA256 is fc0cf7896c32791501d5864b7b639d0ce36fd3430088c00b0a15a9960b3ce434
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/fc0cf7896c32791501d5864b7b639d0ce36fd3430088c00b0a15a9960b3ce434/analysis/
2. On Windows 8 PC create new folder F:\data\mc164\ and copy Minecraft.exe to it
3. Create batch file goexe.bat with these four lines:
@echo off
set APPDATA=%CD%
Minecraft.exe
pause
4. double click the file goexe.bat to launch Minecraft, login and wait for the install
5. Test it works on 1.7.2: click Play, click Multiplayer, click Direct,
type "minetime.com", click Join Server, and you will join the server.
6. Press Escape and click Disconnect, click Multiplayer, click Direct,
type "play.lichcraft.com", click Joine Server, and again you will join Ok.
7. Repeat step 6 for several of the 1.7.2 servers listed on https://minestatus.net/
Most will login, none will report Bad Login.
8. Press Escape and click Disconnect and click Quit Game.
9. Relaunch the goexe.bat file but this time click New Profile, name it 164,
under "Use version" select "release 1.6.4", and click Save Profile.
10. With the profile now showing "164" click Play. Minecraft 1.6.4 should launch.
11. click Multiplayer, click Direct Connect, type "mc.ecocitycraft.com",
click Join Server, and you will very likely get
Connection Lost
Failed to login: Bad login
12. repeat step 11 for any 1.6.4 server and most of them will fail.
I tested several times:
play.minecraftcc.com - this worked two times out of 24 attempts
mcb.skyprison.net - this worked one time
mc.ecocitycraft.com - this worked one time out of 6 attempts
198.23.247.55 (Iceymon) - this failed one time out of one
13. Prior to this clean install test, I had tested about eight 1.6.4 servers
using cleanly installed 1.6.4 minecraft in separate folders,
and on two PCS. Windows Vista, and Windows 8. Each machine had never given
Bad Login errors before today. I had already tried the advice in
https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/1218708-error-bad-login
(router restarted, Windows Firewall disabled, PC restarted several times).
14. My conclusion is there is some problem affecting the communication
between server and client for many people around the world (I talked to a few!)
and it only affects 1.6.4 not 1.7.2 servers.
It's still not working. It's been over 24 hours. What is going on?
Nothing is going on apparently. After maybe 40 attempts at connecting to a 1.6.4 server I am able to connect.
Pity we cannot vote on resolved issues. Is there a way to word a bug report that mojang will accept? Maybe
"client reports unexpected Bad Login error message when the cause is not bad name or bad password"?
EDIT: Ok, I created a bug report that might get mojang's attention, please see https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-40809 .
Its doing it again.
It's doing it again for 1.6.4.
