The iMessage on my MacBook Pro keeps asking me to login; my login only persists a few seconds before a new prompt. I do not have this issue on my iPad Pro. How can I fix this so that my login persists?
MacBook Pro 16″, 11.1
Hello BamaBradCO,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with logging in to Messages on your Mac.
Please ensure you set everything up as described here: Use Messages with your Mac - Apple Support
If you have issues, please check the troubleshooting here: If you can't sign in to your iMessage account or FaceTime on your Mac - Apple Support
Thanks and have a wonderful day.
Not even close to helpful, so I will try this again. I have had my MacBook Pro for a year and until recently had no issues with iMessage. And, I have no issue on my iPad Pro. However, within the last couple of weeks I noticed that I am not receiving messages on my MacBook Pro, so I opened iMessage and logged in. I am successful logging and I can see my messages. This only persists for a few seconds before the login screen shows up again. Why does my login to iMessage on my MacBook Pro not persist?

I was told to test the issue on a new user account. When the same problem happened I was advised to reboot in recovery mode and reinstall the OS. It has not fixed the issue.
