Apple ID Sign-In authentication failure message

Cannot sign into iCloud on any device (iPad 11 pro, mbp15, iPhone x) when prompted to manage subscriptions, or to download anything from the AppStore. I get an alternation of "Authentication failed" & "An unexpected error has occurred".

I've sent an email to apple support, and will be awaiting their response - but I figured I'd post something here to see if anyone has had a similar issue or if anyone may know a solution.

Yes, i cant sign into anything at the moment. Thought it was my password being wrong, so attempted to reset, but it couldn't even reset as not connection to server.

You'll need to wait until Apple fixes their server problems.
