Trouble logging into messages on my macbook pro

I am being asked to log into messages on my macbook pro. Once I log in it stays logged in for 10 seconds then logs me out. I have checked to make sure my Apple ID and password are correct and they are. I went through the troubleshooting article https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204408 and none of these solutions solved my issue sadly.

kkayleec,


Since the issue persists while in safe mode, it would be best to reinstall the macOS software using macOS Recovery. First, make sure your Mac is backed up. This article has information on how to use Time Machine to back up your Mac:

Once your Mac is backed up, then use the steps from this article to reinstall macOS:

Hello kkayleec,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


It is our understanding from your post that you are unable to stay signed in to iMessage even after using the steps from this article: If you can't sign in to your iMessage account or FaceTime on your Mac - Apple Support. The next steps we recommend is testing the issue while your Mac is in safe mode.  The following articles have the steps you will need to test the issue in safe mode:

 

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


"Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed."


Best Regards.
