I have been referred here by Technical support. I have seen the other bug report made, but the helpers said that it was not meant for here.
Whenever I try to connect to a server I get the error message below.
Failed to connect to the server
Failed to log in: The authentication servers are currently not reachable.
Please try again.
I've researched online but I don't use any unofficial software and my hosts list is completely blank aside from the commented out lines that have #'s. I've tried restarting my computer, rebooting my router, logging out of my minecraft account and logging back in.
I only have an Ethernet connection. This is a last ditch effort to get help. If I am not heped, please give Minecraft back to the old owners, it was much better back then.

I figured it out, when you open the hosts file to remove “mojang” lines, you MUST open it as administrator, and make sure that it doesnt ask you to save it anywhere, if it does, do again. This website will help you with it: https://minecrafthopper.net/help/hosts-file/
Hope this helps you.

I had this issue on my fresh new windows 11 laptop, minecraft java edition, 1.20 version, when trying to connect to hypixel.net
I already tried to follow the steps coming from this reddit page : https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/o0wj63/failed_to_log_in_the_authentication_servers_are/
But it seems like on many computers, the issue is still there. The host file does not contain any "mojang" or "minecraft" related text in it.
By the past, I used to play on Hypixel.net with the 1.16.5 version, but from mid september 2024 until now, i can't play on multiplayer anymore..
It's not clear why you were directed here since we can't really provide technical support, we just keep track of reproducible gameplay issues.
I'm sorry if you're still having this issue, but please don't expect any advice from here
