Verification Failure

I have just transferred all my apps to my new iPhone 12 and in settings I have a message to Update Apple ID settings. When I do this and enter my password, I get Verification Failed. There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server.


How do I solve this?

Verification Failed "problem connecting to the server" March 2018 - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8321958 - Needed to connect over wi-fi and not through cellular.


And the opposite:

"Verification Failed, An unknown error occurred" March 2018 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/33184357#message33184357 - "tried again with Wifi off and it worked"
