My 2020 MacBook Air repeatedly starts up with chin and status bar but never boots just continually starts up. It does the same when trying in Safe Mode. Issues prior were apps already signed needing user names and passwords re entered at least 2-3 times a week ( iMessage and mail required this tonight and I thought a restart would help) Apple ID is often requested as well. I’m on Catalina. Thank you
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Get this Serviced:
I. Perhaps this is a Faulty Device?:
How old is this? If this is covered under AppleCare Plus warranty, then maybe you can get it serviced free of charge, being it is found to be a faulty device. You have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-wattanty with this too. So, if any of that applies, and if found to be a faulty device, then it might be free-of-charge. In all, that would be Apple's call.
II. So, Contact Apple Support:

IV. Phone Calls are Currently a Wait:
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, phone calls are taking a lot longer than usual. So, take this up with Apple, despite how long it may take to get on the phone. With many out of work, and many home from school, phone calls will likely take a while to go through — so, just stay on the line. Ask the Apple Rep — they’ll see this and will run you through the fix. Chats are taking a bit longe
