I am hosting a server and it has been working just fine but from yesterday, I don't know what has happened. In my 'server.properties' file 'Whitelist' and 'Online-mode' is turned on and I have whitelisted people but no one can join. Whenever someone tries to join it says "You need to authenticate to Microsoft Services" but I have tried this with multiple accounts and all of them are authenticated but no one can join. For now, as a bandage, I have disabled whitelist but that is not a permanent solution. To recreate this bug, just copy my server's properties in your 'server.properties' file. And again everything like Port Forwarding and Firewall is done correctly.

Hi Abled,
This is generally due to the servers time and date being wrong (even slightly off).
Make sure your time and date is correct and that you are sync'ing with a valid NTP Server.

Network Time Protocol.
Most OS's can sync their time with an authoritative source to prevent time drift on computers.
