Verification Failed an unknown error occurred, is the message I get when trying to log into my Apple ID on a new MacBook Pro. I've tried removing the device from my account and searching in key chain to remove anything with "iCloud" in it. Still doesn't work. :(. The account is fine, I use it on my Mac.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
