Hi Mojang,
I am very frustrated because MC is not working all of a sudden. I am very upset because I absolutely love Minecraft and I want to be able to play it.
So, I logged in and the update notes tab was completely white. I get on to Minecraft (finally, after it was loading for like 5 minutes), and I tried to log into a server. It said "Authentication is under maintainence". I tried to shut down, reinstall Minecraft, and try again and I did this process 6 times. I couldn't get onto any server!
My system is a HP Intel, Windows 8.1 and my java version is the latest version.
Hope you can fix this!

Try it a bit later. "failed to login: authentication are currently down for maintenance " is no fault on your side or in your client. From time to time some of the minecraft-servers are shut down for maintenance (as it says in the message) to make some updates, etc.
Just check https://help.mojang.com if all servers are "green". If not they are doing some magic and your are not able to join any multiplayerserver in some cases.
