This is definitely a valid issue, it happens repeatedly and requires a change to your product in order for it to stop occuring.  That would constitute an issue for a bug tracker, right?

This is also occuring on linux.  A friend told me to try signing out of my Microsoft account in the launcher and signing back in, but now I cannot sign back in.  The sign-in page always comes up in a seperate window with "Failed to load the page.  Please check your internet connection and try again.  Error message: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED (code=-105)."

I've checked my hosts file and my firewall rules, as well as my router settings.  There shouldn't be anything preventing my computer from accessing Microsoft's authentication services.  I'm at a loss at this point. 

Edit:  after getting frustrated with actual troubleshooting, i started just clicking things in the launcher.  After clicking some link that opened my web browser and took me to my XBox Live account, i went back to the launcher and tried logging in again and it finally just worked.  Not sure why, but it did.  I feel compelled to point out that I was able to log into my Microsoft account in my browser this whole time, and that if Minecraft opened the default/system browser and used that for authentication, you know, like most apps do, it would've worked fine.  Instead, they've got some janky setup that opens a chromium window with no address bar or controls for troubleshooting and uses that for auth.  And for some reason, that wasn't able to connect to their site... while I was able to connect just fine in Firefox.  Good grief.
