For a few days now the launcher has been asking me to enter my password every time I open it, even though the "remember me" box is checked.
I did a clean install of the launcher to test but the problem persists.
Looking at the files and logs, it seems to be a token problem: launcher_accounts.json has an empty "AccessToken".

I am not sure if it is a duplicate since it happens every time I open the launcher, not just every time the computer is restarted.
For MCL-18331, the token should be stored if they are still logged in after closing the game. In this case, the AccessToken field remains empty. (Again, I don't know if it's a token problem or if it's the result of something else.)

The mods can fix as needed. The other duplicate MCL-18932 has that issue. Its good to somehow group similar issues.

I have the same issue, launcher installed from the AUR and same failure to get clientToken in the log. Account type is Mojang and Java is openjdk 16.0.1 2021-04-20. How do I close MCL-18997?

When the launcher is opened and I log in the accessToken key+value pair in launcher_accounts.json is added for my account but it is empty.

How about for the windows users? I have the same problem but on windows and your solutions are all for Linux

@Ashenguard the environment specified on this ticket is Linux (and it's been resolved). Open a new ticket if you have a similar issue on windows (you can mention this ticket, MCL-18924, for context).

Ashenguard: You can also try going in the Launcher to Settings / Accounts / Advanced Settings and clicking the "clean up cached account tokens" button - that might help on windows
But I agree logging a new bug w/your issue on Windows & launcher log files attached would help us figured out why your issue is happening.

why do they mark these as resolved with so many people still having the issue?
