Error 5003 and subsequent Authentication Errors

I just tried to log into the game (Windows ver) and got disconnected with a 5003 authentication error while I was in the queue. Since then, when I go to log in, the launcher states there's been an authentication error and I cannot even go past the launcher.

Defeated queue boss. Got in. 15 seconds later, disconnected and now getting "A technical issue has occurred" from the launcher.

Just got this error myself after sitting 2 hours in que. WTH.

Now I can't even log into the launcher, it says "A technical Issue has occured. Try accessing the site again.... Contact SE

I was in que, went from 4500 to 1700 and got disconnected with the 5003 error and now when I try to sign in, I keep getting this over and over now

Same here.

Same. Cannot log into MogStation, just 'A Technical Issue has occurred.'
Game won't let me log in, keep getting same thing.

Is this related to the maintenance that occurred way early this morning? I was able to play in the midafternoon today.

They broke the whole system.... Getting the same error as well, can't even log in.

Was in queue for 2.5 hours, stuck at 330 in queue for 30m, then this, and now I can't get in.

Exactly what I'm getting after a 2 hours wait.

It's also their website. Can't log in there either, so this is likely systemic. and everyone just got the boot from the login servers for both game and website.

Coming home after a frustrating shift and seeing that near the end of my queue was a real cherry on top of my evening.

It's not the end of the world, but man, it really, really sucks to have the rug pulled out from under.

Also, for point of reference, wired connection.

Now watch some people blame it on your internet still

I have this issue as well and it's literally ruined my night. I had the worst day at work possible and all i wanted to do was work on reaper. I know that these issues happen but my god it hurts more today than anything else.

I did notice on the launcher it said there was a recovery from an error related to the account server, not sure if this is related or a new issue, just thought to bring it up for any devs watching.

Same, this is getting f'ing old. 5003 error, same "An error has occurred, try accessing the site later."

I was in queue for 2+ hours, 5003 error, then can't log in...finally log in past this launcher issue...get into the game, then insta 5003.

Site at least now provides a message that it is under maintenance now. So it looks like things are at least being worked on.

The 2002 was bad enough. This literally prevents you from being able to even get into the queue.

Having the same exact issues but mine was a 90001 error then the 5001. Can't log in as well but it says servers are online.

I get this same thing. Seems like this is a wide spread issue right now.

You might have been lucky then, because I keep getting the "An error has occurred" splash after trying to log in.

This is literally killing me :(

Try logging into the website.

https://ibb.co/26SYBZ5

got booted from the game, then 5003’d when i tried logging back in my client showed this weird error: https://imgur.com/a/sgDIsVA (PS4 player btw)

That's due to this issue cropping up again. it's not because it is under maintenance:

[Details]
・When logging into the game, there was a 1/10 chance that you might be disconnected from the server.
*Since disconnection occurred when authentication with Square Enix account was lost, players who were logged in from before the issue occurred would be disconnected within several hours after the issue. If you were disconnected, please try logging in again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

・The login screen for entering Square Enix account and password was not displayed correctly upon starting up the launcher. Even if the login page was displayed correctly, an error might occur when authenticating Square Enix account that would prevent login.

・Unable to login to the Square Enix Account Management System / Online Store / Mog Station / The Lodestone / Official Forum/Companion App.
[Cause]
Server equipment issue

It looks like the login servers are down. Same thing happened to me after 2 hours of waiting in queue. Looks like if you are in the game, you are fine but no one can log in at the moment.

When I manage to actually get it to log in and I hit play;

A ton of people got kicked, too - just not everybody. My discord server went from ~30 people in game to ~5.
