Can't join to any minecraft server and skin doesn't show in singleplayer.
Whenever I try to connect to a Minecraft server, it says: "the authentication servers are currently down for maintenance", and also my skin doesn't show in any singleplayer world.
Probably has something to do that when I redeemed my prepaid code I signed up with a Microsoft account instead of a Mojang account.
What I expected to happen was...:
That I would play peacefully in an SMP with my friends.
What actually happened was...:
I got the error message that I already explained, and when I got into a singleplayer world, it didn't load my skin.
Steps to Reproduce:
This always happens, and it's been several days (I really don't know exactly the cause of this)
Environment
Windows 10 Pro, Java Edition 1.16.4

A number of reports indicate that this may be a problem with authentication for Microsoft accounts.

Other such reports created on or after 1 December:

Is there anyone who bought the game on or after 1 December and can access servers?
This may not be a bug within Minecraft itself, but it may be a valid issue with the Mojang authentication servers.
