If the launcher isn't opening, check the locale (type locale in terminal). If the output has these two lines: locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory ...
Open the terminal and run this: export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
Second that, now gnome-keyring is required to auto-login. See https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4408668374925
gnome-keyring should be added as a dependency as it is required for Microsoft accounts to save a security token.
I have to keep logging into the Microsoft account with the Minecraft launcher. Any way to fix this so it keeps me logged in?
@clebermatheus this package is no longer outdated
@bryiewes Thank you! Got it working again. The outdated version number & lack of votes led me onto the wrong path it seems.
@DarkThoughts use multimc-bin then. It's officially maintained and fully allows msa

@bryiewes I don't have an update button on the launcher. I use 0.16.13, which is the latest build of that AUR package. The "Add Microsoft" button is greyed out and I can only add Mojang accounts.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.
That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.
The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.
