At around or before 0600 GMT, chat experienced a technical issue and many users weren't able to log in using their register profiles.
Ability to log in as a Guest wasn't affected, to our knowledge.
The problem may still persist and it's being looked into.
There are several solutions or workarounds and certain ones work for some users, while other methods work for other users.
One solution:

Another method:

Last resort:
Clear web browser cookies/data for freechatnow.com, close browser, open browser, log back into forum and try to log into chat.
If none of those options work for you, simply log in as a Guest.
Uncheck "I have an account" when logging in and full Guest login form will reveal itself.
Note: Guest logins are not registered usernames and anybody can use any Guest login they desire. Guest logins are are always prefixed with "G-"

A temporary resolution may be to continuously press the "Log in" button after receiving the initial "Unable to authenticate" message, and you may find that after several attempts, you gain access to chat.

I logged out of the forum, logged in as a guest, logged out again, signed in on my account and it worked
