With the new Launcher you need to create a new profile, this should clear up the problem. it did for me. Just recreate your old profile name and it's all good ^^
Thank you for this easy simple fix. Despite the fact that it was slightly annoying to do so.

I was playing right now in a server, when I got out and after a few minutes got in again, it keeps telling me "Failed to login: Bad login", but I DID bought minecraft so I don't know what to do :/
Many things could have caused this error. One of them could be that the Minecraft login servers were down. You can check their status here.
I know this sounds funny, but another thing could actually be that you don't have the time on your computer set correctly. Make sure that it is set to the exact date and time or the Minecraft servers won't be able to log you in.
Another thing could be that you aren't using the correct version of Java. Make sure that you're at least running Java 6 if you're running Minecraft 1.5.2 or older, or the old launcher. And use Java 7 if you're running 1.6+ and the new launcher.
Hope this helped!
Guess who migrated. Me. Probably has something to do with whether or not the server is cracked and the length of your email. (Migrated accounts login with email!) Seems to be at mojang's end, I am going to pester them now.
Generally I find this happens when another person is playing on the same server on your same account and you try to login.
If you have a shared account that is what could be happening.
I actually figured it out, you cannot "play offline" it will give you the "bad login" if the play offline is the only way you can play press "log out" and sign in and that should do it

Retired Staff"Bad login" occurs because of this. You need to be online for the servers to authenticate your account when joining an online-enabled server.

Retired StaffBuy the game.
1. Go onto Mojang.com and sign into your account.
2. Go onto account settings and change your password.
3. Login to Minecraft with new password.
4. Play!
(This worked for me, it might not work for everybody.
