I had pirated Minecraft a while ago, but then I decided to buy it a few days ago with the 50% discount to play premium servers. When I go to the servers I get that I can't join because error in login failed: authentication is currently disabled for maintenance, I already did I followed everything step by step when several people here got that error, for example MC-207896, and I still cleaned my DNS, I checked my internet connection, I restarted my PC, I deleted all the Minecraft folders there are and still I get that error, I already verified that there are no traces of pirate Minecraft and I still get that error

Mojang Notice
This issue is likely caused by using illegal or incompatible software, which are known to corrupt your hosts list by redirecting any Mojang authentification server address to their own illicit servers. To fix this, you need to remove any non-official software, then you need to fix your affected hosts file by doing the following:
On Windows
Go to the Start Menu and locate notepad. Right click notepad and select Run as Administrator
Press Ctrl and O on your keyboard, then enter
%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hostsas the "File name" and press "Open"Remove every line mentioning "Mojang" and hit save (Ctrl+S). (Example: https://imgur.com/qBb9vZA)
On Linux and possibly MacOS
Your user needs to be a sudoer (have administrative privileges), otherwise you need to log as the superuser if you know the password or ask assistance to your system administrator.
Open a terminal application (search for terminal in your application launcher).
Type
sudo nano /etc/hostsRemove any line containing "Mojang" then save the hosts file.
You should now be able to play Minecraft again, please never use any illegal tools or accounts.
It is highly recommended to sign in and change your password.
