I did all I could from my end. I reported the bug, so I guess I'll wait for an answer back from the support team. Someone filled out a bug report right after I did with the same problem, so I know I'm not the only one. His/Her report contains a better explanation than mine, so if mine is ignored, his/hers will at least get noticed.
Update: It just started working... hmmm...
Update: Received an email letting me know that the "Authentication server appeared to be down." Yes it was. It was then up for a total of 10 minutes and it has been down ever since. :(
