What is Minecraft Failed to Verify Username Problem?
Whenever you launch Minecraft, you need to join a server in order to play the game. Some users have faced issues while trying to join the game server. Whenever a player changes his Minecraft username, he will see this message that the server failed to verify his username. Now this could happen due to either of the below reasons:
- Changing the username
- Servers are taking too much load and are temporarily down
How to Fix Minecraft Failed to Verify Username after Change Issue
Since this isn’t a problem that occurs due to our mistake, it’s related to the Minecraft servers which are handled by the development team, so it’s not 100% in our hands to solve this issue. Though there are some proven fixes which have worked in the past for many users.
Let’s check out these methods and how you can also try them to solve this error:
1. Relogging into the Launcher (80% Success Rate)
- Log out of Minecraft

- Go back to the launcher
- Log back in to the game
2. Change the Username to Original (90% Success Rate)
You can try out this method if you face the Minecraft failed to verify username after name change.

- Click “Change Profile” which is located at the bottom right of the window of the launcher

3. IP-Server Fix (70% Success Rate)
For Players:

Warning: Please don’t do this if your server is very famous. This makes the server cracked enough that any Minecraft users can log onto your server with any name. If they join as an admin, then they could badly hurt your server. Try this method at your own risk.
For Server Owners:
- Go in your server configuration file
- Locate “Online-Mode:True”

- Finally, save the changes and Start your server
