As these posts are pretty old, I thought I'd add my own here...and please forgive me if there's a more recent thread about this problem; this was the "newest" of the ones I searched up tonight.
I was and still am having the same problem...and have been now for several months. I launch the game through the client and it tracks everything just as it should, but when I exit the game, it attempts to upload the data it has collected and says "Authentication failed" (I've even gone so far as to let the client stay idle on my system for several hours without playing WoW, then tried again, which ended the same way.)
I've verified my username and password combination, checked to be sure I have the most current version of the client, and researched quite a bit to see if it might be something else, but to no avail. A few members mention a "fix" that has worked for them, but neglected to explain what the fix was. A bit of help would be appreciated, since I enjoy the idea that my forays in Azeroth benefit not only me, but an entire community of players. (Not to mention that I consider WoWHead to be an indispensable resource for serious players and I want that to continue!)
Thanks much in advance!
