Previous accounts trusted you at your word/cc regarding who you are. Quite a few of us migrated to ms accounts, only to get blocked and the minecraft username/account ransomed until we gave Microsoft our mobile phone numbers due to "suspicious activity". Said activity being signing in to the launcher post migration....

Some of us still haven’t migrated. The legacy Java launcher still honours our Mojang logins. I refuse to migrate my account, until the day they shut the Mojang servers down. Which I fear may be soon.

  Yes, that's true, but you no longer get session cookies for authenticating your username -- you always play "offline". Though I'm glad it's still possible to play the game with the official launcher with mojang login (I mainly use polymc to start the game).

    I can play multiplayer and on servers though (as long as they’re <1.17, as I’ve only been able to get the Java launcher to run up to 1.16.x). Does PolyMC still let you log in with a Mojang account? I know that MultiMC doesn’t.

      Yes, polymc supports mojang login. This patch [0] I tried to use to bypass login did not work -- I have to login with mojang to start the game on polymc. For multimc there's a fork called ultimmc that allows playing without an account. Some servers do not require authenticated accounts and work in so-called "offline mode" where authenticity of usernames is not verified with mojang servers (created for playing on a LAN). Many servers on the other hand require usernames of connecting clients to be verified -- and this does not work anymore (at least for me) with the mojang login. wiki.vg has a large repository of minecraft protocol descriptions: [1] and [2] [0] http://ni.sijanec.eu/sijanec/n/tree/etc/portage/patches/games-action/polymc/crack.patch http://ni.sijanec.eu/sijanec/n/tree/etc/portage/patches/game...
