Q: icloud password issue

hey guys I have the following issue and appreciate your help

when I try to go to system preferences and change my iclould settings it asks me for my password - which is fine I enter it, I can see that it shows me the storage information of what I have left (i recently upgraded to 200gb) but then it appears to log me out and says verify the Apple ID password for ...... I enter it and then it asks again ;(

Am I doing something wrong? thanks again guys

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
