Why can't I log into the old Minecraft: Java Edition launcher? Throws InvalidCredentialsExeption [duplicate]

I know for a fact that the information is right, but when I try to log in, it says: InvalidCredentialsException: Invalid credentials. Invalid username or password.

The launcher's version is 1.6.89-j (the java version, the program executes a javabinary).

Also, if it helps, I am on Debian 8, 32-bit (I know I can't use the newer versions, I only want to run the older ones that support the 32-bit LWJGL).


It appears either your username or your password (or possibly both!) are wrong...
