Hi ebgesser,


Is the iPhone used to pair your AirTag showing any messages to sign into your Apple ID in Settings? If so, you'll want to sign into your Apple ID there to clear this error message.


You should also confirm that iCloud Keychain is enabled since that is required for use of your AirTag. You can go go to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > iCloud Keychain.


Set up your AirTag using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch- Apple Support


Have a good one!
