icloud keychain requires macbook pro password

I just received my brand new MacBook Pro 16 inch, Apple M1 Pro, 32GB.


I transferred everything from my old MacBook Pro using Migration assistant.


Everything seems to be working beautifully except I cant turn on iCloud Keychain.


When I try to turn it on, I get the following dialog:



I already have a password to log on to this Mac. If I click 'Continue' I enter my Apple ID password and then get this:



I've tried entering a new password here but 'Create Password' does nothing.

I tried entering my existing password but same thing happens.

I tried restarting the Mac. Still no luck.


At this point, I'm pretty much out of ideas.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.1

Well, that didn't take long.

I signed out of iCloud and signed back in.

All good now!
