Apple ID password not working on iPhone

My password works when logging into my iCloud account from my PC. But when I try to use the same password on my iPhone, verification fails.

I have restarted my modem/router twice now and nothing changed. I still can’t login to my Apple ID from my phone.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 14

Apple ID sign-in verification error Why am I unable to successfully sign in to my Apple ID account? I am using the correct Apple ID username and password, and have tried to login using two Wifi accounts and without wifi - just using data. The password IS correct - I've changed it to ensure this wasn't the problem - AND I have successfully logged into the Apple Support community using the same credentials. Every time I try to login, the phone returns the message "Verification Failed; An unknown error occurred." Thanks in advance.

Apple ID on iPhone SE (2020) After setting up my new phone -- including setting a new Apple ID password from my desktop Mac -- the SE continues to reject the new password. On SE "Settings" an alert says "Update Apple ID Settings: Some account services will not be available until you sign in again". But when I enter the new AID password, the gearwheel cranks for 60 seconds, then a "Verification Failed" message appears with no explanatory info. The password is working fine on my desktop Mac and my iPad. Software version also inaccessible Desktop: Catalina 10.15.4 iPhone SE (2020): 13.4.1

Apple ID verification failed Signing onto iPhone I am asked for Apple ID/psswd. I enter and get verification failed. I change psswd and go back and enter new psswd as confirmed by email from Apple. Verification Failed The application you have selected does not exist. Well, I was trying to log into iCloud, an application which does exist. My ID/psswd worked on logging on from my Mac and into this forum so it's the correct pairing. How do I get my iPhone to accept? And, yes, I have turned off wifi and tried over dataplan to the same outcome. Thank you.

Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.

Try a restart.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Try a forced restart.

If necessary

Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.

Restore to Factory setting.

Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
