Is this bevor or after login?

If you try to login and get this
Is this realy your Username?

I had to use an username and Password for my login not the e-mail address
This seems to be your e-mail Address and not your username

Looks like a connection issue (not authentication). Can you connect to this host and port using telnet command? Don't use debug_level=4.

In my case this error was fixed by modifying the /etc/hosts to replace the localhost line with a line that has FullyQualifiedDomainName short-name localhost and deleting a second line that had the short-name.  I know this is an old post but I have not seen this answer elsewhere.
