According to Apple, this is a two factor authentication problem and solved by reading this Apple Recommended solution where another user encountered a verification failed message --> Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
I am a heretic and dare to think differently (or "think different" in the vernacular). Frankly I have never seen anybody mention that message when there was an authentication code issue. A "Verification Failed" message is used in various scenarios which could be either a communication issue, or a problem with your account (typically a payment issue but in your case I suspect it is a connection issue).

"If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services" click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201400
- If none of the suggestions work, try the last one: "If you’ve tried all of the above steps and you still can’t connect, contact Apple Support."
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"
If those don't resolve the problem, I suggest you contact Apple:
Contact Apple. Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
