Cannot enter email address in login screen

The text box where I enter my email addy in the login contains a string of letters and numbers and cannot be edited or deleted. The password text box works fine.

Earlier I closed the client but didn't actually logout, and so I don't know why it is asking me to log back in. I've never seen this problem before. 

Tried reloading the launcher using the .msi, but it updated to the latest launcher version which, again, doesn't work.

Try clicking "GO BACK", remove the account, and log in with your Mojang Account again

Thank you so much! It works, though the game immediately crashed on startup.

Started again and it seems to be fine so far.

I experience the same bug and here's a few things I'd like to add

  • The bug is recurrent, and relogging will only fix it once

  • This doesn't affect my microsoft account

We've made a slight adjustment to this screen, so the email field should be editable. This will still not fix the issue for why you are running into the malformed data. The quick-fix should still be to go back, remove the account, and add it/sign in again.

If you continuously run in to this problem on every start of the launcher, please consider doing this:

  • Create a bug here on Mojira, explaining your issue and reference this bug

  • Add to the description if you use any third-party launchers

  • Set the bug security level to 'private'

  • Attach your %AppData%/.minecraft/launcher_accounts.json file

This will greatly help us reproduce this issue and find a cause for it. Thanks!

Just added my launcher_accounts.json on the potentially related MCL-16737 bug
