Best Answer

The 'Multiplayer session service' is currently down, that is why you can't login on any online server. Mojang are aware and are working on the issue. You can check https://help.mojang.com/ for the current status of the service. You could also follow @MojangSupport or @MojangStatus on twitter for updates.

Answer 2

If you are a server owner and want to temporarily grant access to your world while Mojang's auth servers are unstable, you can modify the server.properties file to accommodate this. Change:

"online-mode=true"

"online-mode=false"

This skips the authentication attempts sent to the Mojang servers. Be warned though: this also means that others can impersonate anyone (including admins), so this would not be recommended on servers larger than just a small group of trusted friends. Don't forget to change the value back to 'true' when Mojang's auth servers come back online.
