iMessage on iMac Not Authorising

Good Evening,


Would appreciate your help gang, thanks in advance.


Since update to MAC OS Catalina - iMessage is no longer authorising.


I have followed the online support steps, updated (an already functional) Apple ID with a new password, cleared caches and re-installed Catalina (just in case).

Emails and details are recognised as correct...


I get the above message and "failure to authenticate"


Appreciate your time,

Keep Well

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
