iCloud password won't work on App Store

My iCloud password works when I log into iCloud.com, but it won't work when I try to sign in on the App Store. I changed to a different PW, and it works fine everywhere I need iCloud connection, except the App Store.


When I try to sign in to the app store, it sends a confirmation number to my phone, so it is trying to log in.

You only have 14 days to turn off 2FA...

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...


Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?
