Well, to start with, all servers are down atm due to the JP earthquake, supposed to be up again soon.
Though I doubt that this will be trouble free. They still got rolling blackouts, and this will continue in the foreseeable time.
Last thing they should waste power on is some bloody game servers really.

The only ways to bypass that authentication if it isn't working for you are to call the support center and get them to add the card manually, or manage your account from the PS2 or Xbox 360 versions of FFXI, since they don't have web browsers and thus can't use that authentication.

It's important to note: They can only help you enter your card through phone support. chat support won't work.
