apple id won't work on macbook pro

Macbook Pro won't recognize my apple id password. I tried adding the authorization code to the password, which worked for a previous enquirer, but not for me.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Where are you trying to sign in when the password isn't accepted? Error message(s)? Does the ID and password work when you sign into other places using your Apple ID?


Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply.

Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown. If the log won’t post, try posting it in Pastebin and provide a link in a reply. After pasting the report in a PasteBin page, go to the top of the page, and copy the address in the URL bar. Paste that in a new reply.        Pastebin.
