Hello! I am trying to download Minecraft onto my grandma's computer. I download it from minecraft.net, but when I try to run the launcher, I am required to sign in. I type all of my information and click "Enter." The password disappears and am forever waiting for the launcher to sign me in. I have signed into my Mojang account using the same information to make sure I have the right information typed in, and I do. Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this? I have already deleted the launcher and downloaded it again, but still the same issue. The launcher also says it is version 1.2.1 if that helps. Thanks in advance!
