Nevermind, I didn't read the pop-up which says I need to add a Microsoft authentication ID

How do I get a Microsoft authentication ID?

Why would you even want to use this launcher if you own the game?
To get an MSA token I would have to request one from Microsoft for use with this launcher and there's no way they would give me a token since this launcher breaks the Minecraft EULA.

Sorry, I just wanted a launcher that allowed me to play both with and without a Microsoft account. I'll just use PolyMC to play online and keep yours as an offline backup then. Thank you for your time.

Why not just harvest the one from PolyMC, that one is valid so it stands to reason that it would work for this, allowing people to use both types of accounts.

PolyMC's developers state that you have to accept the terms of use laid down in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/microsoft-identity-platform/terms-of-use to use their key, which I do not accept.
Of course there's nothing stopping me from using the key anyway but I respect their wishes and don't want to fuck them over by getting their key revoked so I will not be using it.

Fair enough.
