iCloud Keychain prompts to create a user password, but I already have one
I have been trying to find a solution to my problem, but can't seem to find anyone else who's had this problem. Specifically, this is not about the keychain access password, rather when turning on keychain in iCloud on my new MacBook Pro, a pop-up windows tells me this action requires me to create a user password, but I already have a user password! So when I try to make one it just does not work, and it tells me there was a problem with my Apple ID. I've tried everything: signing in, signing out, removing my user password, trying to change it, and so on.
I would be grateful for a solution!
