Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Having a strange issue logging into Apple ID in System Preferences / App Store / Messages on my Mac OS after upgrading to Monterey.
I don't get any error it just loops for a while and takes me back to the login prompt.
If i create a new user account and login from there it works fine but not on my primary mac account.
Apple Care + cannot help and is asking me reinstall my OS. Any help is highly appreciated.

Have you tried restarting the computer? Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer or by using the developer’s uninstall instructions. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
