I use minecraft on multiple computers and it seems to happen when I move to different computer, login on the old one is lost.
Edit: I have explicitly checked this situation and my guess seems not to be true. sorry for the noise.
perhaps MCL could have list of minecraft versions and minimum-maximum versions of java supported minecraft 1.12 to 1.16.5 require at least JRE 1.8, but they do work with newer versions e.g. jre 1.11 minecraft below 1.6 don't support JRE 1.8 (iirc)
I have similar problem with older versions of MC and different java version than bundled 1.8, reported as MCL-18710:
the installed java version (1.11) is marked as incompatible with versions 1.7-1.16, while they all were playable with java 1.11.
Edit: removing JavaCheck.jar helped me too.
