“Unable to Login Authentication failed Timeout”
Have gone down every troubleshooting rabbit hole I have control over - this is happening from different networks, different devices, but from the same account - friend's account is fine
Looking at the logs, I'm not sure if I'm seeing a cached reattempt at connecting to the same front door? Either way, there are multiple posts on Reddit and here that are having similar account-bound issues.

Experiencing the same problem. Have tried reinstalling the game. Resetting my account password. Rebooting my modem, and updating it's firmware. Flushing the DNS and resetting the winsock. Restarting the computer multiple times.
Still can't log on to my main account on any of my computers using the standalone PC client, the Steam Client, or the iOS version on my iPhone. Interesting enough, creating an alternate account lets me log in and play on all platforms, so it doesn't appear to be a networking issue - at least on my end. I think.
Fingers crossed the update that comes for SOS fixes the issue, if not something sooner. I need my hit of MTG.

Same issue here for four days now. Contacted support and have been told to change my password... To no one's surprised, it didn't change anything. Also tried the flush DNS fix and obviously to reinstall the game. Still unable to play on my account, but playing on a freshie works perfectly fine.

They better compensate us for this. This is absurd.

Having the same issue, returning player that had no idea there was a patch and had logged in on mobile during the update similar to previous comment. A different account works on my devices but this account gets the error on three different devices.

Also not able to log in after the update. However, as I‘m playing on the iPad, I realized that I left the application active during the update. Might this be the reason for the bug?

Ive been unable to login for a few days. I made a ticket but whoever responded clearly did not read. I have attached a screenshot of the error. The issue persists on mac, steam, and iOS.

Been 3 days still haven’t been able to play, spoke to support they told me to reset my password (which I did but is not the problem)what a joke this game is. Can’t correct a error they made for days then have the audacity to ask if I reset my password.

If this bug is account wide, then it's a critical faillure on the dev/publisher side, who would want to pay for anything if we are not sure we will be able to play because of this kind of bug
