Perhaps at some point when you tried to change the email address used for Apple ID

the original or first one had not been disassociated correctly; and so it's still active(?)

Links through Related Article above your thread have some ideas; if used to their depth.

These partial changes evidently cause issues; & may cause havoc.

To login to Apple ID (page for iCloud) online could help, to a point.

Check and see how login through any browser to access your iCloud.

(Not sure how to proceed here; my 'non-volunteer life' needs my attention now.)
